Pregabalin and Cefotaxime drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pregabalin (pregabalin) and Cefotaxime (cefotaxime sodium). Common drug interactions include acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis among females and neutropenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pregabalin and Cefotaxime. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 68 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pregabalin?
Pregabalin has active ingredients of pregabalin. It is often used in fibromyalgia. eHealthMe is studying from 74,070 Pregabalin users. Check the latest studies of Pregabalin.
What is Cefotaxime?
Cefotaxime has active ingredients of cefotaxime sodium. eHealthMe is studying from 7,559 Cefotaxime users. Check the latest studies of Cefotaxime.
68 people who take Pregabalin and Cefotaxime together, and have interactions are studied.
