What can cefotetan cause with alcohol ingestion?

No effect
Increased hypertension
Disulfiram like reaction
Immediate alcohol detoxification

The correct answer is: Disulfiram like reaction

Cefotetan can cause a disulfiram-like reaction when taken with alcohol. This means that when consumed together, the combination may cause unpleasant side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and headache. Option A is incorrect because there can be an effect when cefotetan is combined with alcohol. Option B is incorrect because hypertension refers to high blood pressure, which is not a known side effect of combining cefotetan and alcohol. Option D is incorrect because cefotetan does not have any immediate effects on alcohol detoxification.
