Acyclovir and Merrem drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Acyclovir (acyclovir) and Merrem (meropenem). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and rash maculo-papular among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Acyclovir and Merrem. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Merrem?

Merrem has active ingredients of meropenem. eHealthMe is studying from 996 Merrem users. Check the latest studies of Merrem.

Lipase increased
Pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas)

20-29:

n/a

30-39:

Blood amylase increased
Lipase increased

40-49:

Blood magnesium decreased
Blood potassium decreased
Cardiac arrest
Dermatitis atopic (inflammatory, chronically relapsing, non-contagious and pruritic skin disorder)
Electrocardiogram qt prolonged
Haemoglobin decreased
Neutropenia (an abnormally low number of neutrophils)
Neutrophilia

50-59:

Pyrexia (fever)
Rash erythematous (redness of the skin)
Sepsis syndrome (a clinical condition of blood infection)
Shock (a life-threatening condition with symptoms like low blood pressure, weakness, shallow breathing, cold, clammy skin)
Skin exfoliation (removal of the oldest dead skin cells)
Stevens-johnson syndrome (an immune-complex-mediated hypersensitivity disorder. it ranges from mild skin and mucous membrane lesions to a severe)
Unresponsive to stimuli
Vomiting
Wheezing (a high-pitched whistling sound made while you breath)
White blood cell count decreased

60+:

Hypoxia (low oxygen in tissues)
Platelet count decreased
Diabetes mellitus (diabetes, caused by a deficiency of the pancreatic hormone insulin)
Dyspnoea (difficult or laboured respiration)
Haemoglobin decreased
Haemorrhage intracranial (bleeding within the skull)
Mental status changes (general changes in brain function, such as confusion, amnesia (memory loss), loss of alertness, loss of orientation)
Multi-organ failure (multisystem organ failure)
Multiple sclerosis (a nervous system disease that affects your brain and spinal cord. it damages the myelin sheath)
Pneumonia
