Gengraf and Bactrim drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gengraf (cyclosporine) and Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim). Common drug interactions include rash among females and oedema peripheral among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gengraf and Bactrim. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 42 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 cyclosporine and sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim (the active ingredients of Gengraf and Bactrim, respectively), and Gengraf and Bactrim (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?
