Vantin and Levaquin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vantin (cefpodoxime proxetil) and Levaquin (levofloxacin). Common drug interactions include sepsis syndrome among females and acute myocardial infarction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vantin and Levaquin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
