Actigall and Folic acid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Actigall (ursodiol) and Folic acid (folic acid). Common drug interactions include thrombocytopenia among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Actigall and Folic acid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 80 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on ursodiol and folic acid (the active ingredients of Actigall and Folic acid, respectively), and Actigall and Folic acid (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?
