Xolair and Cefuroxime drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Xolair (omalizumab) and Cefuroxime (cefuroxime sodium). Common drug interactions include bronchiectasis among females and nasopharyngitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Xolair and Cefuroxime. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
