Levaquin and Pyridium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levaquin (levofloxacin) and Pyridium (phenazopyridine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cystitis interstitial among females and depression among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levaquin and Pyridium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 92 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
