Chloramphenicol and Maxitrol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Chloramphenicol (chloramphenicol) and Maxitrol (dexamethasone; neomycin sulfate; polymyxin b sulfate). Common drug interactions include headache among females and corneal abrasion among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Chloramphenicol and Maxitrol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
