Question 1 of 5
A patient at a rehabilitation center is prescribed erythromycin. The nurse is reviewing the patient's medication list, checking to see if there are medications that should not be taken with this antibiotic. One medication is found. What medication should not be taken with erythromycin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lovastatin. Erythromycin can inhibit the metabolism of lovastatin, leading to increased levels of lovastatin in the body, potentially causing serious side effects like muscle damage. Lasix, Ibuprofen, and Lisinopril do not have significant interactions with erythromycin. Lasix is a diuretic, Ibuprofen is a pain reliever, and Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension.
Therefore, lovastatin is the medication that should not be taken with erythromycin due to the risk of drug interactions.
