Cytovene and Solu-medrol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cytovene (ganciclovir) and Solu-medrol (methylprednisolone sodium succinate). Common drug interactions include pain of skin among females and drug toxicity among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cytovene and Solu-medrol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 37 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Cytovene?

Cytovene has active ingredients of ganciclovir. eHealthMe is studying from 419 Cytovene users. Check the latest studies of Cytovene.

What is Solu-medrol?

Solu-medrol has active ingredients of methylprednisolone sodium succinate. It is often used in multiple sclerosis. eHealthMe is studying from 39,410 Solu-medrol users. Check the latest studies of Solu-medrol.

0-1:

n/a

2-9:

n/a

10-19:

Apnoea (suspension of external breathing)
Intracranial pressure increased (high pressure inside the skull and thus in the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid)
Headache (pain in head)

Grand mal convulsion (a type of generalized seizure that affects the entire brain)
Carotid artery stenosis (narrowing of carotid artery)
Haemorrhage intracranial (bleeding within the skull)
Heart transplant rejection
Brain herniation (brain herniation is a potentially deadly side effect of very high intracranial pressure that occurs when a part of the brain is squeezed across structures within the skull)
Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (lung disorder caused by aspergillus fungi)

20-29:

Cardiac tamponade (fluid accumulates in heart covering)
Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart)
Sepsis (a severe blood infection that can lead to organ failure and death)
Cardiac arrest
Drug toxicity
Viral infection
Convulsions (muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled of muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly)
Diarrhoea
Hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure)
Supraventricular tachycardia (rapid heart rhythm originating at or above the atrioventricular node)

30-39:

Cerebral disorder (brain disease)
Cerebral infarction (less blood supply to brain resulting tissue damage)
Delirium (wild excitement)
Pulmonary hypertension (increase in blood pressure in the lung artery)
Cardio-respiratory arrest (sudden dysfunction of heart and lungs)
Coma (state of unconsciousness lasting more than six hours)
Convulsion (muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking of the body)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Pulmonary embolism (blockage of the main artery of the lung)
Activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged

40-49:

Drug toxicity
Dyspnoea (difficult or laboured respiration)
Graft versus host disease (the donated bone marrow or stem cells view the recipient's body as foreign, and the donated cells/bone marrow attack the body)
Haemoglobin decreased
Pneumonitis (inflammation of the walls of the alveoli in the lungs)
Protein total decreased
Red blood cell count decreased
Renal failure acute (rapid kidney dysfunction)
Thromboembolism (obstruction of artery by blood clot)

Blood chloride decreased
Dehydration (dryness resulting from the removal of water)
Fluid overload (too much fluid in the blood)
Gastroenteritis viral (inflammation of stomach and intestine caused by virus infection)
Headache (pain in head)
Mental status changes (general changes in brain function, such as confusion, amnesia (memory loss), loss of alertness, loss of orientation)

60+:

Bacteraemia (presence of bacteria in the blood)
Renal failure acute (rapid kidney dysfunction)
Confusion
Depression
Electrocardiogram qt prolonged
Extrasystoles
Face oedema (swelling of face)
Feeling cold
Gastric ulcer haemorrhage (bleeding ulcer of stomach)
Gastrointestinal infection (infection of stomach and intestine)
