Combivent and Merrem drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Combivent (albuterol sulfate; ipratropium bromide) and Merrem (meropenem). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and aortic arteriosclerosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Combivent and Merrem. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Combivent?

What is Merrem?
Merrem has active ingredients of meropenem. eHealthMe is studying from 996 Merrem users. Check the latest studies of Merrem.
11 people who take Combivent and Merrem together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on albuterol sulfate; ipratropium bromide and meropenem (the active ingredients of Combivent and Merrem, respectively), and Combivent and Merrem (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.
