Cresemba and Foscavir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cresemba (isavuconazonium sulfate) and Foscavir (foscarnet sodium). Common drug interactions include cytokine release syndrome among females and blood alkaline phosphatase increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cresemba and Foscavir. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
