Synthroid and Dilantin-125 drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) and Dilantin-125 (phenytoin). Common drug interactions include visual acuity reduced among females and stevens-johnson syndrome among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Synthroid and Dilantin-125. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
