Micafungin and Valtrex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Micafungin (micafungin sodium) and Valtrex (valacyclovir hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include myocardial infarction among females and pyrexia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Micafungin and Valtrex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 80 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on micafungin sodium and valacyclovir hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Micafungin and Valtrex, respectively), and Micafungin and Valtrex (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?
