Which type of drugs can reduce the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors?

Antibiotics

NSAIDs

NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can reduce the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors. This is because NSAIDs can increase blood pressure by causing the body to retain water and sodium, counteracting the effects of ACE inhibitors which work to lower blood pressure. Antibiotics, antidepressants, and antivirals do not have this effect and therefore are not correct choices for this question.
