Linzess and Zithromax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Linzess (linaclotide) and Zithromax (azithromycin). Common drug interactions include cerebral palsy among females and muscle spasms among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Linzess and Zithromax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
