Magnesium citrate and Valcyte drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Magnesium citrate (magnesium) and Valcyte (valganciclovir hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include drug ineffective among females and bacteraemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Magnesium citrate and Valcyte. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
