Cozaar and Cotrim drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cozaar (losartan potassium) and Cotrim (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim). Common drug interactions include femur fracture among females and bone disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cozaar and Cotrim. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
