Macrobid and Magnesium oxide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Macrobid (nitrofurantoin; nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline) and Magnesium oxide (magnesium). Common drug interactions include chest pain among females and asthenia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Macrobid and Magnesium oxide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Macrobid?

Macrobid has active ingredients of nitrofurantoin; nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 9,215 Macrobid users. Check the latest studies of Macrobid.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on nitrofurantoin; nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline and magnesium (the active ingredients of Macrobid and Magnesium oxide, respectively), and Macrobid and Magnesium oxide (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.

How to use the study?

DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
