Protopic and Levaquin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Protopic (tacrolimus) and Levaquin (levofloxacin). Common drug interactions include deafness among females and anaemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Protopic and Levaquin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 45 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Protopic?

Protopic has active ingredients of tacrolimus. It is often used in eczema. eHealthMe is studying from 5,403 Protopic users. Check the latest studies of Protopic.

What is Levaquin?

Levaquin has active ingredients of levofloxacin. It is often used in sinusitis. eHealthMe is studying from 56,638 Levaquin users. Check the latest studies of Levaquin.
