Accutane and Mycophenolate mofetil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Accutane (isotretinoin) and Mycophenolate mofetil (mycophenolate mofetil). Common drug interactions include glomerular filtration rate decreased among females and inflammatory bowel disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Accutane and Mycophenolate mofetil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
