Movicol and Cancidas drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Movicol (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Cancidas (caspofungin acetate). Common drug interactions include electrocardiogram qt prolonged among females and acute respiratory failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Movicol and Cancidas. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 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 polyethylene glycol 3350 and caspofungin acetate (the active ingredients of Movicol and Cancidas, respectively), and Movicol and Cancidas (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.
