Genotropin and Zide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Genotropin (somatropin recombinant) and Zide (hydrochlorothiazide). Common drug interactions include renal impairment among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Genotropin and Zide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 61 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 somatropin recombinant and hydrochlorothiazide (the active ingredients of Genotropin and Zide, respectively), and Genotropin and Zide (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?
