Rocephin and Celestone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rocephin (ceftriaxone sodium) and Celestone (betamethasone). Common drug interactions include hepatic cirrhosis among females and angioneurotic oedema among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rocephin and Celestone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 42 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
