Keflex and Phentermine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Keflex (cephalexin) and Phentermine (phentermine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include abdominal hernia among females and dyspnoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Keflex and Phentermine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
