A 33-year-old immigrant from Peru comes to a women’s health clinic because she has missed her period for the past 2 months. Already a mother of four, she explains that she can’t afford to have another child. When her pregnancy test comes back positive, she becomes obviously distraught, saying that she has been on the pill for the past year and has not missed a single dose. As she starts to cry, her tears are noted to have an orange tint. The physician tells her that the most likely reason her oral contraceptives were ineffective was an interaction with one of her other medications. For which condition is this patient most likely being treated?
(A) Breast cancer
(B) Epilepsy
(C) Giardia infection
(D) Refractory atrial fibrillation
(E) Tuberculosis
