Duragesic and Zosyn drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Duragesic (fentanyl) and Zosyn (piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium). Common drug interactions include neuropathy peripheral among females and sepsis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Duragesic and Zosyn. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 65 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on fentanyl and piperacillin sodium; tazobactam sodium (the active ingredients of Duragesic and Zosyn, respectively), and Duragesic and Zosyn (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?
