Augmentin and Actemra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Augmentin (amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium) and Actemra (tocilizumab). Common drug interactions include gastric ulcer among females and agranulocytosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Augmentin and Actemra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
