Zosyn and Zerbaxa 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 Zerbaxa (ceftolozane sulfate; tazobactam sodium). Common drug interactions include abdominal pain among females and leukaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zosyn and Zerbaxa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Zosyn?
Zosyn has active ingredients of piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium. It is often used in pneumonia. eHealthMe is studying from 10,236 Zosyn users. Check the latest studies of Zosyn.
What is Zerbaxa?
Zerbaxa has active ingredients of ceftolozane sulfate; tazobactam sodium. eHealthMe is studying from 1,018 Zerbaxa users. Check the latest studies of Zerbaxa.
13 people who take Zosyn and Zerbaxa together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium and ceftolozane sulfate; tazobactam sodium (the active ingredients of Zosyn and Zerbaxa, respectively), and Zosyn and Zerbaxa (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
