Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Carbamazepine is a hepatic enzyme inducer, which can increase drug metabolism. Patients taking both drugs usually need a larger dose of warfarin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Dairy products, multivitamins, and antacids should be avoided 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking ciprofloxacin because these products contain divalent cations that form a drug complex that prevents absorption of the ciprofloxacin.
