Correct answer
C
Rationale
Ginseng may cause an increased risk of bleeding but should not interact with Lipitor. St. John's wort should not be taken with an SSRI as it may cause serotonin syndrome. Black cohosh should not be taken with allopurinol as they can both cause hepatotoxicity, especially in combination. Ginkgo biloba should not be taken with warfarin as it causes an increased risk of bleeding.
