Chlorhexidine gluconate and Prograf drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Chlorhexidine gluconate (chlorhexidine gluconate) and Prograf (tacrolimus). Common drug interactions include gastrooesophageal reflux disease among females and pneumonia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Chlorhexidine gluconate and Prograf. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 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 chlorhexidine gluconate and tacrolimus (the active ingredients of Chlorhexidine gluconate and Prograf, respectively), and Chlorhexidine gluconate and Prograf (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?
