O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Betamethasone and Moxifloxacin can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Betamethasone belongs to Endocrine; Moxifloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial.
Por que acontece
