Nevan is prescribed albuterol for his asthma. Which best describes how the pharmacy technician can educate Nevan on preventing drug interactions?

Answer
A
suggest reading the nutritional information on the food to determine the amount of tyramine
B
suggest reading the nutritional information on the food to determine the amount of caffeine
C
suggest a seminar to understand food-drug interactions
D
suggest a seminar to understand drug-drug interactions

Explanation

Albuterol can cause stimulant-like effects, such as a fast heartbeat and shakiness. Caffeine can also cause these effects, so checking how much caffeine is in foods and drinks can help Nevan avoid worsening them. Tyramine is not the relevant food concern for albuterol.
