Which interaction between each prescription and food or nutritional supplement is favorable?
a. Warfarin (Coumadin) and ginkgo biloba
b. Terazosin (Hytrin) and increased fluids
c. Lithium (Eskalith) and low-sodium diet
d. Warfarin (Coumadin) and leafy, green vegetables
B
Increased fluids can combat the hypotensive effects of alpha-adrenergic blockers such as terazo-sin. Ginkgo biloba can amplify the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Reduced sodium intake contributes to the toxicity of lithium. Leafy, green vegeta-bles can diminish the anticoagulant effect of warfarin (Coumadin).
