Which medication is known for its risk of nephrotoxicity?

Atorvastatin
Vancomycin
Apixaban
Cimetidine

The correct answer is: Vancomycin

Vancomycin is the correct choice since it is a medication known to have a risk of nephrotoxicity. This means that vancomycin has the potential to cause damage to the kidneys. The other options, Atorvastatin, Apixaban, and Cimetidine, are not typically known to have this adverse effect. Atorvastatin is primarily used for lowering cholesterol, Apixaban is a blood thinner, and Cimetidine is used for reducing stomach acid production. However, it is important to note that all medications have potential risks and side effects, so it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting a new medication.
