Fortaz and Paxil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fortaz (ceftazidime) and Paxil (paroxetine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include lung infiltration among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fortaz and Paxil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
