Diamox and Azmacort drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Diamox (acetazolamide) and Azmacort (triamcinolone acetonide). Common drug interactions include pericardial effusion among females and septic shock among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Diamox and Azmacort. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Diamox?
Diamox has active ingredients of acetazolamide. It is often used in pseudotumor cerebri. eHealthMe is studying from 4,711 Diamox users. Check the latest studies of Diamox.
What is Azmacort?
Azmacort has active ingredients of triamcinolone acetonide. It is often used in asthma. eHealthMe is studying from 3,612 Azmacort users. Check the latest studies of Azmacort.
16 people who take Diamox and Azmacort 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 triamcinolone acetonide (the active ingredients of Diamox and Azmacort, respectively), and Diamox and Azmacort (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.
How to use the study?
