Invirase and Pentacarinat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Invirase (saquinavir mesylate) and Pentacarinat (pentamidine isethionate). Common drug interactions include pregnancy among females and blindness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Invirase and Pentacarinat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Invirase has active ingredients of saquinavir mesylate. eHealthMe is studying from 2,690 Invirase users. Check the latest studies of Invirase.
What is Pentacarinat?
Pentacarinat has active ingredients of pentamidine isethionate. eHealthMe is studying from 1,546 Pentacarinat users. Check the latest studies of Pentacarinat.
19 people who take Invirase and Pentacarinat together, and have interactions are studied.
