Cefixime and Levofloxacin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cefixime (cefixime) and Levofloxacin (levofloxacin; sodium chloride). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal haemorrhage among females and pyrexia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cefixime and Levofloxacin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
