What are the most common adverse effects of zileuton?

  1. Headache, nausea, dizziness, insomnia

  2. Diarrhea, vomiting, stomach ache, fever

  3. Headache, nausea, diarrhea

  4. Insomnia, blurred vision, depression

The correct answer is: Headache, nausea, dizziness, insomnia

Zileuton is a medication commonly used for the treatment of asthma. Therefore, the most common adverse effects of zileuton may include symptoms associated with the respiratory system, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, and insomnia. Option B may be incorrect because diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach ache are not commonly reported adverse effects of zileuton. Option C may be partially correct, as it includes two of the three most common adverse effects, but it does not include dizziness which is also commonly reported. Option D may be incorrect because blurred vision and depression are not commonly reported adverse effects of zileuton. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate and specific choice.
