Hydrocortisone and Pimecrolimus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hydrocortisone (hydrocortisone) and Pimecrolimus (pimecrolimus). Common drug interactions include eye pain among females and dermatitis atopic among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hydrocortisone and Pimecrolimus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 75 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
