Levaquin and Isentress drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levaquin (levofloxacin) and Isentress (raltegravir potassium). Common drug interactions include gait disturbance among females and emotional distress among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levaquin and Isentress. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 91 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
