Megace and Cephalexin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Megace (megestrol acetate) and Cephalexin (cephalexin). Common drug interactions include gingival swelling among females and pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Megace and Cephalexin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 118 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
