Ativan and Cytovene drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ativan (lorazepam) and Cytovene (ganciclovir). Common drug interactions include renal tubular necrosis among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ativan and Cytovene. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
