Locoid and Simvastatin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) and Simvastatin (simvastatin). Common drug interactions include anaemia among females and obsessive-compulsive disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Locoid and Simvastatin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 46 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Locoid?
Locoid has active ingredients of hydrocortisone butyrate. eHealthMe is studying from 1,996 Locoid users. Check the latest studies of Locoid.
What is Simvastatin?
Simvastatin has active ingredients of simvastatin. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 256,970 Simvastatin users. Check the latest studies of Simvastatin.
46 people who take Locoid and Simvastatin together, and have interactions are studied.
