For the treatment of ascites, a combination of Furosemide and Spironolactone is recommended. This combination helps to decrease fluid buildup in the abdomen and prevent complications from liver disease. Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not medications used to treat ascites. Ceftriaxone and Cipro are antibiotics used to treat infections, Lactulose and Rifaximin are medications used to treat hepatic encephalopathy, and Nadolol and Propranolol are beta-blockers used to treat high blood pressure and prevent bleeding from esophageal varices. Using these medications instead of Furosemide and Spironolactone may not effectively treat ascites.
