Levothroid and Septra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levothroid (levothyroxine sodium) and Septra (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim). Common drug interactions include abscess among females and nausea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levothroid and Septra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
