Azasite and Acyclovir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Azasite (azithromycin) and Acyclovir (acyclovir). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and abnormal dreams among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Azasite and Acyclovir. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
