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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Micafungin (micafungin sodium) and Valcyte (valganciclovir hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include duodenal ulcer among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Micafungin and Valcyte. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
