Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is primarily associated with medications that stimulate insulin release or enhance its effects. Glipizide, a sulfonylurea, works by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas, making it a common cause of hypoglycemia.

Haloperidol (A) is an antipsychotic that does not significantly impact blood sugar levels. Gemfibrozil (B), a lipid-lowering agent, may affect glucose metabolism but is not typically linked to hypoglycemia. Hydrochlorothiazide (D), a diuretic, primarily affects fluid balance and blood pressure, with minimal direct influence on insulin or blood sugar levels.
