Which drug requires to be taken with a fatty meal to increase absorption?

Griseofulvin
Terbinafine
Fluconazole
Amphotericin B

The correct answer is: Griseofulvin

Griseofulvin, an antifungal medication, requires a fatty meal for a higher absorption rate due to its low water solubility. This allows for better absorption in the intestine, resulting in higher bioavailability and effectiveness of the drug. Terbinafine, fluconazole, and amphotericin B do not have the same requirement and can be taken without a fatty meal. Terbinafine is well absorbed with or without food, fluconazole has a high oral bioavailability, and amphotericin B is given via IV or injected directly into targeted areas. Therefore, A is the correct answer as the others do not have the same absorption requirement.
