Cephalexin and Methimazole drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cephalexin (cephalexin) and Methimazole (methimazole). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cephalexin and Methimazole. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cephalexin?
Cephalexin has active ingredients of cephalexin. It is often used in infection. eHealthMe is studying from 30,580 Cephalexin users. Check the latest studies of Cephalexin.
What is Methimazole?
Methimazole has active ingredients of methimazole. It is often used in hyperthyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 8,016 Methimazole users. Check the latest studies of Methimazole.
38 people who take Cephalexin and Methimazole together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cephalexin and methimazole (the active ingredients of Cephalexin and Methimazole, respectively), and Cephalexin and Methimazole (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
