Cephalothin and Gentamicin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cephalothin (cephalothin sodium) and Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate). Common drug interactions include anaemia among females and blood amylase increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cephalothin and Gentamicin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cephalothin?
Cephalothin has active ingredients of cephalothin sodium. eHealthMe is studying from 157 Cephalothin users. Check the latest studies of Cephalothin.
What is Gentamicin?
Gentamicin has active ingredients of gentamicin sulfate. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 21,654 Gentamicin users. Check the latest studies of Gentamicin.
24 people who take Cephalothin and Gentamicin together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cephalothin sodium and gentamicin sulfate (the active ingredients of Cephalothin and Gentamicin, respectively), and Cephalothin and Gentamicin (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?
