Which medication type is mentioned as increasing uric acid levels?

  1. Antibiotics

  2. Calcineurin inhibitors

  3. Antivirals

  4. Analgesics

The correct answer is: Calcineurin inhibitors

Calcineurin inhibitors are known to increase uric acid levels in the body. Calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus are commonly used in transplant patients to prevent organ rejection. These medications can lead to an increase in uric acid levels, which may result in gout or kidney stones. Antibiotics, antivirals, and analgesics are not typically associated with increasing uric acid levels.
