Bactrim and Accolate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim) and Accolate (zafirlukast). Common drug interactions include hepatitis among females and arthralgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Bactrim and Accolate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
