Floxin and Dexamethasone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Floxin (ofloxacin) and Dexamethasone (dexamethasone). Common drug interactions include abdominal pain among females and aggression among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Floxin and Dexamethasone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Floxin?
Floxin has active ingredients of ofloxacin. eHealthMe is studying from 1,737 Floxin users. Check the latest studies of Floxin.
What is Dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone has active ingredients of dexamethasone. It is often used in multiple myeloma. eHealthMe is studying from 161,927 Dexamethasone users. Check the latest studies of Dexamethasone.
16 people who take Floxin and Dexamethasone together, and have interactions are studied.
