Flomax and Vancomycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flomax (tamsulosin hydrochloride) and Vancomycin (vancomycin). Common drug interactions include influenza like illness among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flomax and Vancomycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Flomax?
Flomax has active ingredients of tamsulosin hydrochloride. It is often used in enlarged prostate. eHealthMe is studying from 52,865 Flomax users. Check the latest studies of Flomax.
What is Vancomycin?
Vancomycin has active ingredients of vancomycin. eHealthMe is studying from 17,165 Vancomycin users. Check the latest studies of Vancomycin.
eHealthMe: drug outcomes in the real world
eHealthMe runs one of the largest post-marketing drug safety studies in the world. We study millions of patients and 5,000 more each day. Our data-driven phase IV clinical trials have been referenced on 800+ peer-reviewed medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature.
