Answer: b. "I must take this medication with food or I can have heart burn"

Step-by-step explanation:

Gemfibrozil, is a medication that is taken by mouth and it is used in the treatment of abnormal blood lipid levels. One of its brand names is Lopid.

But Statins are usually preferred to Gemfibrozil.

It is recommended that while you use it you should also change your diet and exercise.

It is not clear yet, if it changes the risk of heart disease. So it is advised that you take it with food to avoid heart burns.
