Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbacavirAbacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Oxybenzone which could result in a higher serum level.
AceclofenacAceclofenac may decrease the excretion rate of Oxybenzone which could result in a higher serum level.
AcemetacinAcemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Oxybenzone which could result in a higher serum level.
AcetaminophenAcetaminophen may decrease the excretion rate of Oxybenzone which could result in a higher serum level.
AcetazolamideAcetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Oxybenzone which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy.
Food Interactions
No interactions found.
