Bentyl and Vancomycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Bentyl (dicyclomine hydrochloride) and Vancomycin (vancomycin). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and anaemia among males.

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

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on dicyclomine hydrochloride and vancomycin (the active ingredients of Bentyl and Vancomycin, respectively), and Bentyl and Vancomycin (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.

How to use the study?
