Epitol and Restasis drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Epitol (carbamazepine) and Restasis (cyclosporine). Common drug interactions include urinary tract infection among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Epitol and Restasis. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Epitol?
Epitol has active ingredients of carbamazepine. It is often used in bipolar disorder. eHealthMe is studying from 397 Epitol users. Check the latest studies of Epitol.
What is Restasis?
Restasis has active ingredients of cyclosporine. It is often used in dry eyes. eHealthMe is studying from 35,199 Restasis users. Check the latest studies of Restasis.
19 people who take Epitol and Restasis together, and have interactions are studied.
