Pentam and Foscarnet sodium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pentam (pentamidine isethionate) and Foscarnet sodium (foscarnet sodium). Common drug interactions include bradycardia among females and aplastic anaemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pentam and Foscarnet sodium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 48 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
