The correct answer for the question I posted is B (gemfibrozil) . Adverse GI effects frequently occur with gemfibrozil therapy. These effects include abdominal pain, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cholestasis with jaundice. Less common adverse effects include cholestasis and elevated levels of hepatic enzymes.
