Opsumit and Acetylcysteine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Opsumit (macitentan) and Acetylcysteine (acetylcysteine). Common drug interactions include peripheral swelling among females and lung transplant among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Opsumit and Acetylcysteine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 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 macitentan and acetylcysteine (the active ingredients of Opsumit and Acetylcysteine, respectively), and Opsumit and Acetylcysteine (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.
