Amiodarone hydrochloride and Vancomycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Amiodarone hydrochloride (amiodarone hydrochloride) and Vancomycin (vancomycin). Common drug interactions include urinary retention among females and klebsiella infection among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Amiodarone hydrochloride and Vancomycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
