Zoloft and Dificid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride) and Dificid (fidaxomicin). Common drug interactions include dry skin among females and cardiac arrest among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zoloft and Dificid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Zoloft?
Zoloft has active ingredients of sertraline hydrochloride. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 138,798 Zoloft users. Check the latest studies of Zoloft.
What is Dificid?
Dificid has active ingredients of fidaxomicin. It is often used in clostridium difficile colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 1,295 Dificid users. Check the latest studies of Dificid.
12 people who take Zoloft and Dificid together, and have interactions are studied.
