Amitiza and Gentamicin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Amitiza (lubiprostone) and Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate). Common drug interactions include pain in extremity among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Amitiza and Gentamicin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 56 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Amitiza?
Amitiza has active ingredients of lubiprostone. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 10,567 Amitiza users. Check the latest studies of Amitiza.
What is Gentamicin?
Gentamicin has active ingredients of gentamicin sulfate. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 21,654 Gentamicin users. Check the latest studies of Gentamicin.
56 people who take Amitiza and Gentamicin together, and have interactions are studied.
