  4. Riboflavin and thiamin
  5. Folic acid and vitamin B12

 

Ans: 2

  Feedback
1. Isoniazid does not lead to deficiencies in ascorbic acid and vitamin D.
2. Isoniazid is structurally similar to niacin, and the body recognizes it as niacin, reducing its production of the vitamin; the drug also forms a complex that makes Vitamin B6 unavailable.
3. Isoniazid does not lead to deficiencies in riboflavin and thiamin.
4. Isoniazid does not lead to deficiencies in folic acid and vitamin B12.
