Fosamax and Tobi drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fosamax (alendronate sodium) and Tobi (tobramycin). Common drug interactions include humerus fracture among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fosamax and Tobi. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Fosamax?
Fosamax has active ingredients of alendronate sodium. It is often used in osteoporosis. eHealthMe is studying from 105,452 Fosamax users. Check the latest studies of Fosamax.
What is Tobi?
Tobi has active ingredients of tobramycin. eHealthMe is studying from 10,011 Tobi users. Check the latest studies of Tobi.
32 people who take Fosamax and Tobi together, and have interactions are studied.
