Risperdal and Zosyn drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Risperdal (risperidone) and Zosyn (piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium). Common drug interactions include constipation among females and sepsis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Risperdal and Zosyn. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
