Zyvox and Amikin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zyvox (linezolid) and Amikin (amikacin sulfate). Common drug interactions include hepatomegaly among females and septic shock among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zyvox and Amikin. 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 Zyvox?
Zyvox has active ingredients of linezolid. It is often used in mrsa infection. eHealthMe is studying from 9,399 Zyvox users. Check the latest studies of Zyvox.
What is Amikin?
Amikin has active ingredients of amikacin sulfate. eHealthMe is studying from 528 Amikin users. Check the latest studies of Amikin.
12 people who take Zyvox and Amikin together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on linezolid and amikacin sulfate (the active ingredients of Zyvox and Amikin, respectively), and Zyvox and Amikin (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.
