Acyclovir and Daraprim drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Acyclovir (acyclovir) and Daraprim (pyrimethamine). Common drug interactions include thrombocytopenia among females and abdominal pain upper among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Acyclovir and Daraprim. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Daraprim?
Daraprim has active ingredients of pyrimethamine. eHealthMe is studying from 788 Daraprim users. Check the latest studies of Daraprim.
20 people who take Acyclovir and Daraprim together, and have interactions are studied.
