Zithromax and Maxipime drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zithromax (azithromycin) and Maxipime (cefepime hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dysphonia among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zithromax and Maxipime. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 68 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
