Zosyn and Zemplar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zosyn (piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium) and Zemplar (paricalcitol). Common drug interactions include erythema among females and anaphylactic reaction among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zosyn and Zemplar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
