Penicillin-vk and Ativan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Penicillin-vk (penicillin v potassium) and Ativan (lorazepam). Common drug interactions include oedema among females and bronchitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Penicillin-vk and Ativan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Penicillin-vk?
Penicillin-vk has active ingredients of penicillin v potassium. It is often used in tooth abscess. eHealthMe is studying from 293 Penicillin-vk users. Check the latest studies of Penicillin-vk.
What is Ativan?
Ativan has active ingredients of lorazepam. It is often used in stress and anxiety. eHealthMe is studying from 78,506 Ativan users. Check the latest studies of Ativan.
18 people who take Penicillin-vk and Ativan together, and have interactions are studied.
