Gentamicin and Amikin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate) and Amikin (amikacin sulfate). Common drug interactions include agranulocytosis among females and agranulocytosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gentamicin and Amikin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 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 gentamicin sulfate and amikacin sulfate (the active ingredients of Gentamicin and Amikin, respectively), and Gentamicin and Amikin (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?
