Optimark and Nexium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Optimark (gadoversetamide) and Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium). Common drug interactions include oedema peripheral among females and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Optimark and Nexium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 96 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Optimark?

Optimark has active ingredients of gadoversetamide. eHealthMe is studying from 3,055 Optimark users. Check the latest studies of Optimark.

What is Nexium?

Nexium has active ingredients of esomeprazole magnesium. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 245,678 Nexium users. Check the latest studies of Nexium.
