Cefixime and Heparin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cefixime (cefixime) and Heparin (heparin sodium). Common drug interactions include pancytopenia among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cefixime and Heparin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 39 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cefixime?
Cefixime has active ingredients of cefixime. eHealthMe is studying from 3,237 Cefixime users. Check the latest studies of Cefixime.
What is Heparin?
Heparin has active ingredients of heparin sodium. It is often used in blood clots. eHealthMe is studying from 92,141 Heparin users. Check the latest studies of Heparin.
39 people who take Cefixime and Heparin together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cefixime and heparin sodium (the active ingredients of Cefixime and Heparin, respectively), and Cefixime and Heparin (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
