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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pentam (pentamidine isethionate) and Valsartan (valsartan). Common drug interactions include cataract among females and neuropathy peripheral among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pentam and Valsartan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
