Micardis and Nitrofurantoin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Micardis (telmisartan) and Nitrofurantoin (nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline). Common drug interactions include pain among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Micardis and Nitrofurantoin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Micardis?
Micardis has active ingredients of telmisartan. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 27,605 Micardis users. Check the latest studies of Micardis.
What is Nitrofurantoin?
Nitrofurantoin has active ingredients of nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 4,838 Nitrofurantoin users. Check the latest studies of Nitrofurantoin.
20 people who take Micardis and Nitrofurantoin together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on telmisartan and nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline (the active ingredients of Micardis and Nitrofurantoin, respectively), and Micardis and Nitrofurantoin (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.
