Ans: A
The first dose of muromonab-CD3 can cause fever, chills, chest tightness, wheezing, nausea, and vomiting. Cough and hyperkalemia are associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Photosensitivity and GI upset are often associated with diuretics. Urinary retention and decreased appetite are associated with imipramine.
