Copegus and Prevacid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Copegus (ribavirin) and Prevacid (lansoprazole). Common drug interactions include eye pain among females and pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Copegus and Prevacid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Copegus?
Copegus has active ingredients of ribavirin. It is often used in hepatitis c. eHealthMe is studying from 15,115 Copegus users. Check the latest studies of Copegus.
What is Prevacid?
Prevacid has active ingredients of lansoprazole. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 130,714 Prevacid users. Check the latest studies of Prevacid.
41 people who take Copegus and Prevacid together, and have interactions are studied.
