Ceftin and Atorvastatin calcium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ceftin (cefuroxime axetil) and Atorvastatin calcium (atorvastatin calcium). Common drug interactions include pericardial effusion among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ceftin and Atorvastatin calcium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
