Cefuroxime and Alvesco drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cefuroxime (cefuroxime sodium) and Alvesco (ciclesonide). Common drug interactions include heart rate decreased among females and wheezing among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cefuroxime and Alvesco. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Cefuroxime?
