The correct answer is (a) Require the dose increase of some drugs.
Stimulation of liver microsomal enzymes, also known as enzyme induction, can increase the metabolism of certain drugs. This means that the liver breaks down the drug more quickly, leading to:
– Reduced drug levels in the bloodstream
– Decreased therapeutic effect
– Potential need for increased dosage to maintain efficacy
