Cotrim and Methylprednisolone acetate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cotrim (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim) and Methylprednisolone acetate (methylprednisolone acetate). Common drug interactions include urinary tract infection among females and arthritis bacterial among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cotrim and Methylprednisolone acetate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
