Levaquin and Combivir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levaquin (levofloxacin) and Combivir (lamivudine; zidovudine). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levaquin and Combivir. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 59 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
