Flexeril and Zyvox drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride) and Zyvox (linezolid). Common drug interactions include platelet count increased among females and atrial fibrillation among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flexeril and Zyvox. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 65 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
