Budesonide and Cotrim drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Budesonide (budesonide) and Cotrim (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim). Common drug interactions include pulmonary embolism among females and hypotension among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Budesonide and Cotrim. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 46 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 budesonide and sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim (the active ingredients of Budesonide and Cotrim, respectively), and Budesonide and Cotrim (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?
