Levofloxacin and Codeine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levofloxacin (levofloxacin; sodium chloride) and Codeine (codeine sulfate). Common drug interactions include frustration among females and dyspnoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levofloxacin and Codeine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 42 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on levofloxacin; sodium chloride and codeine sulfate (the active ingredients of Levofloxacin and Codeine, respectively), and Levofloxacin and Codeine (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
