Which of these is an adverse effect of mixed alpha/beta agonists?

  1. Lethargy

  2. Hypoglycemia

  3. Insomnia and cardiac stimulation

  4. Decreased appetite

The correct answer is: Insomnia and cardiac stimulation

Mixed alpha/beta agonists can have various adverse effects on the body. Lethargy (A) and decreased appetite (D) are not commonly associated with mixed alpha/beta agonists and are more commonly seen with other medications. Hypoglycemia (B) is a potential side effect but it is not as common as insomnia and cardiac stimulation (C). Insomnia and cardiac stimulation (C) are common adverse effects of mixed alpha/beta agonists due to their ability to stimulate both alpha and beta receptors in the body, leading to increased heart rate and difficulty with falling asleep. Thus, C is the correct answer.
