Ketoconazole and Rapamune drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ketoconazole (ketoconazole) and Rapamune (sirolimus). Common drug interactions include thrombophlebitis superficial among females and lymphoma among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ketoconazole and Rapamune. 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 Ketoconazole?
Ketoconazole has active ingredients of ketoconazole. It is often used in fungal infection. eHealthMe is studying from 16,014 Ketoconazole users. Check the latest studies of Ketoconazole.
What is Rapamune?
Rapamune has active ingredients of sirolimus. It is often used in kidney transplant. eHealthMe is studying from 13,848 Rapamune users. Check the latest studies of Rapamune.
18 people who take Ketoconazole and Rapamune together, and have interactions are studied.
