Concerta and Gentamicin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Concerta (methylphenidate hydrochloride) and Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate). Common drug interactions include agranulocytosis among females.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Concerta and Gentamicin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 21 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
