Acetazolamide and Aldactone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Acetazolamide (acetazolamide) and Aldactone (spironolactone). Common drug interactions include pituitary tumour among females and cardiac failure congestive among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Acetazolamide and Aldactone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 64 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Acetazolamide?

Acetazolamide has active ingredients of acetazolamide. It is often used in pseudotumor cerebri. eHealthMe is studying from 6,178 Acetazolamide users. Check the latest studies of Acetazolamide.

What is Aldactone?

Aldactone has active ingredients of spironolactone. It is often used in acne. eHealthMe is studying from 46,063 Aldactone users. Check the latest studies of Aldactone.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on acetazolamide and spironolactone (the active ingredients of Acetazolamide and Aldactone, respectively), and Acetazolamide and Aldactone (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.

How to use the study?
