Augmentin and Megestrol acetate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Augmentin (amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium) and Megestrol acetate (megestrol acetate). Common drug interactions include deep vein thrombosis among females and pneumonia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Augmentin and Megestrol acetate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 59 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
