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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate) and Slow-k (potassium chloride). Common drug interactions include pathogen resistance among females and alanine aminotransferase increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gentamicin and Slow-k. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 59 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.

What is Slow-k?

Slow-k has active ingredients of potassium chloride. It is often used in hypokalemia. eHealthMe is studying from 3,683 Slow-k users. Check the latest studies of Slow-k.

eHealthMe: drug outcomes in the real world

eHealthMe runs one of the largest post-marketing drug safety studies in the world. We study millions of patients and 5,000 more each day. Our data-driven phase IV clinical trials have been referenced on 800+ peer-reviewed medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature. Tools to study our phase IV findings are available to the public, anonymous and free >>>.

Rash erythematous (redness of the skin)
Rash maculo-papular (red area on the skin that is covered with small confluent bumps)
Rash pruritic (redness with itching)
