Which of the following is NOT an effect of NS5A Replication Complex Inhibitors?

  1. Decreased absorption with antacids

  2. Increased risk of kidney stones

  3. Can decrease concentrations of specific drugs

  4. Taken with food

The correct answer is: Increased risk of kidney stones

NS5A Replication Complex Inhibitors are a class of medication primarily used to treat hepatitis C. These drugs work by preventing the virus from replicating in the body. This can lead to a decrease in the viral load and improved liver function in patients with hepatitis C. While there are several potential side effects associated with NS5A Replication Complex Inhibitors, increased risk of kidney stones is not one of them. The other options listed may be potential side effects or considerations when taking these medications. Choosing option B would not be a correct answer as it is not a known effect of NS5A Replication Complex Inhibitors.
