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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate) and Calcium acetate (calcium acetate). Common drug interactions include renal failure among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gentamicin and Calcium acetate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 60 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Gentamicin?

Gentamicin has active ingredients of gentamicin sulfate. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 21,654 Gentamicin users. Check the latest studies of Gentamicin.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on gentamicin sulfate and calcium acetate (the active ingredients of Gentamicin and Calcium acetate, respectively), and Gentamicin and Calcium acetate (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?

DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
