Rocephin and Mepron drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rocephin (ceftriaxone sodium) and Mepron (atovaquone). Common drug interactions include poor dental condition among females and acute respiratory failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rocephin and Mepron. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 45 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on ceftriaxone sodium and atovaquone (the active ingredients of Rocephin and Mepron, respectively), and Rocephin and Mepron (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
