  1. A is the answer and there is no winner to this question.
    Details below:
    Thyroxine, levothyroxine, is a thyroid hormone used in hypothyroidism.
    Because it increases metabolic rate, it should be taken in the morning to
    minimise the occurrence of insomnia. Common side-effects of metformin are
    gastrointestinal, such as nausea and vomiting. By taking the tablet with or after
    food, these side-effects are minimised. Dipyridamole should be taken three
    times daily before food, as dipyridamole is incompletely absorbed from the
    gastrointestinal tract.
