Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amiodarone can increase the serum levels of digoxin and potentially lead to toxicity. Therefore, caution must be taken when administering these two medications together. Omeprazole (B) is a proton-pump inhibitor used to treat acid reflux and would not interact with amiodarone. Fluoxetine (C) and oxycodone (D) are also not known to interact with amiodarone.
