Benzonatate and Clindamycin phosphate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Benzonatate (benzonatate) and Clindamycin phosphate (clindamycin phosphate). Common drug interactions include pain among females and sudden death among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Benzonatate and Clindamycin phosphate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 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 benzonatate and clindamycin phosphate (the active ingredients of Benzonatate and Clindamycin phosphate, respectively), and Benzonatate and Clindamycin phosphate (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?
