Flaxseed and Cephalexin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flaxseed (flaxseed) and Cephalexin (cephalexin). Common drug interactions include musculoskeletal stiffness among females and asthenia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flaxseed and Cephalexin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
