Candesartan cilexetil and Zovirax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Candesartan cilexetil (candesartan cilexetil) and Zovirax (acyclovir sodium). Common drug interactions include renal impairment among females and encephalitis viral among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Candesartan cilexetil and Zovirax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on candesartan cilexetil and acyclovir sodium (the active ingredients of Candesartan cilexetil and Zovirax, respectively), and Candesartan cilexetil and Zovirax (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.
