Raltegravir can cause ?: (A) Hypokalemia, (B) Hypocalcemia, (C) Hyperkalemia, (D) Hypercalcemia
Answer is C. Ans. is 'c' i.e., Hyperkalemia Myopathy (muscle pain, tiredness) and rhabdomyolysis. Skin reactions. Allergic reactions. Liver problems. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Nonspecific : nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache. No textbook has mentioned any electrolyte abnormality as a side effect of raltegravir. So, I had to find the answer of this question indirectly. Raltegravir can cause rhabdomyolysis, in which there is hyperkalemia.
