In the context of progestin-only pills, what is a warning associated with Slynd?

  1. May cause an increase in potassium levels

  2. Has a slightly higher risk of clotting

  3. Should not be used in kidney, liver, or adrenal gland disease

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Option A, increasing potassium levels, and B, higher risk of clotting, are known warnings associated with most progestin-only pills, not exclusive to Slynd. Option C, a warning for those with kidney, liver, and adrenal gland disease, is applicable to most medications. Slynd, in particular, has a warning regarding potential negative interactions with other drugs. Therefore, D, all of the above, is the correct answer as all the options are known warnings associated with Slynd, but also apply to many other medications in general.
