Melatonin and Primaxin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Melatonin (melatonin) and Primaxin (cilastatin sodium; imipenem). Common drug interactions include adrenal insufficiency among females and abdominal pain upper among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Melatonin and Primaxin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Melatonin?

Melatonin has active ingredients of melatonin. It is often used in insomnia. eHealthMe is studying from 56,213 Melatonin users. Check the latest studies of Melatonin.

What is Primaxin?

Primaxin has active ingredients of cilastatin sodium; imipenem. eHealthMe is studying from 4,540 Primaxin users. Check the latest studies of Primaxin.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on melatonin and cilastatin sodium; imipenem (the active ingredients of Melatonin and Primaxin, respectively), and Melatonin and Primaxin (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.
