Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Azithromycin can prolong the QT interval, leading to potential cardiac arrhythmias. Patients with a history of prolonged QT interval or other heart conditions should be monitored closely.

Choice B rationale

Constipation is not commonly associated with azithromycin use. Gastrointestinal side effects may include diarrhea or nausea but not constipation.

Choice C rationale

While tachycardia can be a side effect of some medications, azithromycin is more commonly associated with QT prolongation rather than causing increased heart rate directly.

Choice D rationale

Hyperkalemia is not typically a concern with azithromycin. Electrolyte imbalances are not a common side effect of this antibiotic.

A. Albuterol. B. Ciprofloxacin. C. Metformin. D. Warfarin.

Ciprofloxacin is an anti-infective medication used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics.

Choice C rationale

Metformin is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. It is not considered an anti-infective medication.
