Question: 1 / 1820

Which of the following is a side effect of Rifampin?

Optic Neuritis

Hemolytic Anemia

One possible side effect of Rifampin is Hemolytic Anemia. This is a condition in which the red blood cells in the body are destroyed at a faster rate than they can be produced. This can lead to fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. This is not a side effect of options A, C, or D. Optic Neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve and is not associated with Rifampin. Acute Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden pain, swelling, and stiffness in joints and is not a common side effect of Rifampin. Severe Hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, is a possible side effect of Rifampin but it is not the best answer as it is not as directly related to the medication as Hemolytic Anemia is.
