Foscavir and Etoposide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Foscavir (foscarnet sodium) and Etoposide (etoposide). Common drug interactions include systemic candida among females and agranulocytosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Foscavir and Etoposide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on foscarnet sodium and etoposide (the active ingredients of Foscavir and Etoposide, respectively), and Foscavir and Etoposide (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.
