Moxifloxacin and Zocor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Moxifloxacin (moxifloxacin) and Zocor (simvastatin). Common drug interactions include deformity among females and blood glucose increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Moxifloxacin and Zocor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 37 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Moxifloxacin?
Moxifloxacin has active ingredients of moxifloxacin. eHealthMe is studying from 12,980 Moxifloxacin users. Check the latest studies of Moxifloxacin.
What is Zocor?
Zocor has active ingredients of simvastatin. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 86,545 Zocor users. Check the latest studies of Zocor.
37 people who take Moxifloxacin and Zocor together, and have interactions are studied.
