Levaquin and Tykerb drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levaquin (levofloxacin) and Tykerb (lapatinib ditosylate). Common drug interactions include metastases to central nervous system among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levaquin and Tykerb. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 46 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
