All of the following drugs can precipitate Tacrolimus toxicity, except:
Correct Answer: Rifampicn
Description: Rifampicin increases the rate of tacrolimus metabolism (Induces CYP4503A) and thereby tends to reduce serum levels of tacrolimus. This may lead to reduced therapeutic efficacy of tacrolimus but not enhanced toxicity.
