Cefazolin and Ganciclovir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cefazolin (cefazolin sodium) and Ganciclovir (ganciclovir). Common drug interactions include infected skin ulcer among females and cytomegalovirus infection among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cefazolin and Ganciclovir. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 91 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Cefazolin?
