Cimzia and Xopenex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) and Xopenex (levalbuterol hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include intestinal obstruction among females and angina pectoris among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cimzia and Xopenex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
