QTc interval is increased both by lenvatinib and ofloxacin
when used together, entrectinib and levofloxacin both increase the QTc interval
when used together, encorafenib and levofloxacin both increase the QTc interval
when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased risk or severity of QTC prolongation
may increase the QTc prolonging effect
It may enhance the risk of adverse effects when combined with Fluoroquinolones
It may enhance the risk of adverse effects when combined with Fluoroquinolones
It may enhance the risk of adverse effects when combined with Fluoroquinolones
It may enhance the risk of adverse effects when combined with Fluoroquinolones
It may enhance the risk of adverse effects when combined with Fluoroquinolones
when both the drugs are combined, carmustine may decrease the renal secretion of levofloxacin and increases the serum levels
