Cresemba and Mucinex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cresemba (isavuconazonium sulfate) and Mucinex (guaifenesin). Common drug interactions include pneumonia among females and white blood cell count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cresemba and Mucinex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cresemba?
Cresemba has active ingredients of isavuconazonium sulfate. eHealthMe is studying from 2,574 Cresemba users. Check the latest studies of Cresemba.
What is Mucinex?
Mucinex has active ingredients of guaifenesin. It is often used in cough. eHealthMe is studying from 29,749 Mucinex users. Check the latest studies of Mucinex.
15 people who take Cresemba and Mucinex together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on isavuconazonium sulfate and guaifenesin (the active ingredients of Cresemba and Mucinex, respectively), and Cresemba and Mucinex (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.
