Dapsone and Ciprofloxacin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dapsone (dapsone) and Ciprofloxacin (ciprofloxacin). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and anxiety among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dapsone and Ciprofloxacin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
