Hectorol and Levothyroxine sodium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hectorol (doxercalciferol) and Levothyroxine sodium (levothyroxine sodium). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hectorol and Levothyroxine sodium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
