Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Antacids or mineral supplements. Antacids containing calcium, magnesium, or aluminum and mineral supplements containing iron or zinc can bind to ciprofloxacin, reducing its absorption in the GI tract. This interaction can decrease the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin in treating infections. Alcohol (choice
A) does not directly affect ciprofloxacin absorption. Intense physical exertion (choice
B) does not have a significant impact on ciprofloxacin absorption. Fruit juices, especially grapefruit juice (choice
C), can interact with certain medications, but not specifically with ciprofloxacin.
Therefore, the correct choice is D because antacids and mineral supplements can interfere with ciprofloxacin absorption.
