Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
People should not take erythromycin after taking antacids. Antacids decrease the absorption of both the tablet and suspension form of erythromycin. Antacids do not cause a dangerous rise in pH, exacerbate GI upset, or delay the metabolism of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

B
