Diamox and Cymbalta drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Diamox (acetazolamide) and Cymbalta (duloxetine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and pulmonary oedema among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Diamox and Cymbalta. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 89 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Diamox?

What is Cymbalta?
Cymbalta has active ingredients of duloxetine hydrochloride. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 154,973 Cymbalta users. Check the latest studies of Cymbalta.
89 people who take Diamox and Cymbalta together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on acetazolamide and duloxetine hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Diamox and Cymbalta, respectively), and Diamox and Cymbalta (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.
