Infed and Pepcid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Infed (iron dextran) and Pepcid (famotidine). Common drug interactions include osteomyelitis among females and nausea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Infed and Pepcid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Infed?
Infed has active ingredients of iron dextran. It is often used in anemia. eHealthMe is studying from 1,105 Infed users. Check the latest studies of Infed.
What is Pepcid?
Pepcid has active ingredients of famotidine. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 55,774 Pepcid users. Check the latest studies of Pepcid.
18 people who take Infed and Pepcid together, and have interactions are studied.
