Which medication should be taken with food to avoid adverse effects?

Olanzapine
Paliperidone
Quetiapine
Ziprasidone

The correct answer is: Ziprasidone

Ziprasidone should be taken with food to avoid adverse effects because its absorption is significantly increased when taken with a meal. This can help reduce the risk of stomach upset and other gastrointestinal side effects associated with the medication. While the other antipsychotic medications listed (Olanzapine, Paliperidone, and Quetiapine) do not necessarily need to be taken with food to avoid adverse effects, it is crucial for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding medication administration in order to achieve the best possible outcomes and minimize potential side effects.
