Keflex and Coq drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Keflex (cephalexin) and Coq (coenzyme q - 10). Common drug interactions include post procedural swelling among females and headache among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Keflex and Coq. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
