Lipitor and Garamycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) and Garamycin (gentamicin sulfate). Common drug interactions include alopecia among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lipitor and Garamycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
