Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Antacids decrease the effects of sucralfate, and people should not take them within 30 minutes before or after administration of sucralfate.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The actions and pharmacokinetics of the other PPIsesomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), pantoprazole (Protonix), and rabeprazole (AcipHex)are similar to those of omeprazole. However, the drug interactions associated with omeprazole reportedly do not occur with these other PPIs.
