Levemir and Bactroban drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levemir (insulin detemir recombinant) and Bactroban (mupirocin). Common drug interactions include drug hypersensitivity among females and skin ulcer among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levemir and Bactroban. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Levemir?
Levemir has active ingredients of insulin detemir recombinant. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 13,850 Levemir users. Check the latest studies of Levemir.
What is Bactroban?
Bactroban has active ingredients of mupirocin. It is often used in infection. eHealthMe is studying from 4,967 Bactroban users. Check the latest studies of Bactroban.
14 people who take Levemir and Bactroban together, and have interactions are studied.
