Cefotaxime and Augmentin '125' drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cefotaxime (cefotaxime sodium) and Augmentin '125' (amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium). Common drug interactions include neutropenia among females and thrombocytopenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cefotaxime and Augmentin '125'. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
