Levofloxacin and Zoloft drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levofloxacin (levofloxacin; sodium chloride) and Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and failure to thrive among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levofloxacin and Zoloft. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 98 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Levofloxacin?
Levofloxacin has active ingredients of levofloxacin; sodium chloride. It is often used in sinusitis. eHealthMe is studying from 16,335 Levofloxacin users. Check the latest studies of Levofloxacin.
What is Zoloft?
Zoloft has active ingredients of sertraline hydrochloride. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 138,798 Zoloft users. Check the latest studies of Zoloft.
98 people who take Levofloxacin and Zoloft together, and have interactions are studied.
