What increases tolerability with Ribavirin?

Taking on an empty stomach
Increasing water intake
Taking with food
Minimizing physical activity

The correct answer is: Taking with food

Taking Ribavirin with food increases tolerability because it can help reduce gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and upset stomach. Ribavirin is known to cause digestive disturbances, and taking it with food can help lessen these effects, making it easier for patients to tolerate the medication. This is why option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because taking Ribavirin on an empty stomach, increasing water intake, or minimizing physical activity do not specifically target the tolerability of Ribavirin or help in reducing its gastrointestinal side effects.
