Restasis and Cefuroxime drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Cefuroxime (cefuroxime sodium). Common drug interactions include fatigue among females and injection site pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Cefuroxime. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Restasis?
Restasis has active ingredients of cyclosporine. It is often used in dry eyes. eHealthMe is studying from 35,199 Restasis users. Check the latest studies of Restasis.
What is Cefuroxime?
Cefuroxime has active ingredients of cefuroxime sodium. It is often used in sinusitis. eHealthMe is studying from 12,999 Cefuroxime users. Check the latest studies of Cefuroxime.
54 people who take Restasis and Cefuroxime together, and have interactions are studied.
