Nystatin and Foscavir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nystatin (nystatin) and Foscavir (foscarnet sodium). Common drug interactions include electrolyte imbalance among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nystatin and Foscavir. 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 nystatin and foscarnet sodium (the active ingredients of Nystatin and Foscavir, respectively), and Nystatin and Foscavir (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?
