ANS: B
Dairy products inhibit the absorption of ciprofloxacin, so they should be avoided. Abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting are common and usually mild. Patients should stop taking the drug if heel pain occurs until tendonitis has been ruled out. Photosensitivity can occur, so sunscreen should be used.
