Azithromycin and Propulsid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Azithromycin (azithromycin) and Propulsid (cisapride monohydrate). Common drug interactions include rales among females and dyspnoea among males.

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

What is Azithromycin?

Azithromycin has active ingredients of azithromycin. It is often used in sinusitis. eHealthMe is studying from 40,716 Azithromycin users. Check the latest studies of Azithromycin.

What is Propulsid?

Propulsid has active ingredients of cisapride monohydrate. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 8,130 Propulsid users. Check the latest studies of Propulsid.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on azithromycin and cisapride monohydrate (the active ingredients of Azithromycin and Propulsid, respectively), and Azithromycin and Propulsid (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
