Name 3 drugs that can cause gingival hyperplasia.

Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen
Calcium Channel Blockers, Dilantin, Cyclosporin
Antibiotics, Antifungals, Antivirals
Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, Immunotherapy

The correct answer is: Calcium Channel Blockers, Dilantin, Cyclosporin

Calcium channel blockers, Dilantin (phenytoin), and Cyclosporin are the three drugs known to cause gingival hyperplasia. These medications can lead to overgrowth of the gum tissue, resulting in swollen and enlarged gums. Other options like aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy are not associated with causing gingival hyperplasia.
