Cefoxitin and Heparin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cefoxitin (cefoxitin sodium) and Heparin (heparin sodium). Common drug interactions include neutrophil count increased among females and blood glucose increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cefoxitin and Heparin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
