Golytely and Zosyn drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Golytely (polyethylene glycol 3350; potassium chloride; sodium bicarbonate; sodium chloride; sodium sulfate, anhydrous) and Zosyn (piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal disorder among females and renal tubular necrosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Golytely and Zosyn. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
