Synthroid and Doryx drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) and Doryx (doxycycline hyclate). Common drug interactions include papillary thyroid cancer among females and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Synthroid and Doryx. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 29 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Synthroid?
Synthroid has active ingredients of levothyroxine sodium. It is often used in hypothyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 249,198 Synthroid users. Check the latest studies of Synthroid.
What is Doryx?
Doryx has active ingredients of doxycycline hyclate. It is often used in acne. eHealthMe is studying from 901 Doryx users. Check the latest studies of Doryx.
29 people who take Synthroid and Doryx together, and have interactions are studied.
