Levaquin and Floxin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levaquin (levofloxacin) and Floxin (ofloxacin). Common drug interactions include dental caries among females and pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levaquin and Floxin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 80 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Levaquin?
Levaquin has active ingredients of levofloxacin. It is often used in sinusitis. eHealthMe is studying from 56,638 Levaquin users. Check the latest studies of Levaquin.
What is Floxin?
Floxin has active ingredients of ofloxacin. eHealthMe is studying from 1,737 Floxin users. Check the latest studies of Floxin.
80 people who take Levaquin and Floxin together, and have interactions are studied.
