Dilantin and Isoniazid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dilantin (phenytoin sodium) and Isoniazid (isoniazid). Common drug interactions include stevens-johnson syndrome among females and cardiac failure congestive among males.

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

What is Dilantin?

Dilantin has active ingredients of phenytoin sodium. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 20,858 Dilantin users. Check the latest studies of Dilantin.

What is Isoniazid?

Isoniazid has active ingredients of isoniazid. It is often used in tuberculosis. eHealthMe is studying from 20,174 Isoniazid users. Check the latest studies of Isoniazid.
