Benicar and Ceftriaxone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) and Ceftriaxone (ceftriaxone sodium). Common drug interactions include metabolic acidosis among females and pneumonia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Benicar and Ceftriaxone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
