Ciprofloxacin and Zosyn drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ciprofloxacin (ciprofloxacin) and Zosyn (piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium). Common drug interactions include injection site pain among females and renal tubular necrosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ciprofloxacin and Zosyn. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 94 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
