1. ice cream
2. cheese
3. crackers

5. alcohol
Correct Answer: 1, 2
The medication should be taken with meals or food high in fat to avoid stomach upset and to help with absorption such as ice cream or cheese. Crackers and pretzels are high-carbohydrate, but lower fat foods. Alcohol should be avoided since it may cause rapid pulse and flushing in patients prescribed griseofulvin.
