Cetamide and Ibu drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cetamide (sulfacetamide sodium) and Ibu (ibuprofen). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and blood creatine phosphokinase increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cetamide and Ibu. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 78 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
