Pepcid and Vfend drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pepcid (famotidine) and Vfend (voriconazole). Common drug interactions include graft versus host disease among females and respiratory failure among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pepcid and Vfend. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 89 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Pepcid?

Pepcid has active ingredients of famotidine. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 55,774 Pepcid users. Check the latest studies of Pepcid.

What is Vfend?

Vfend has active ingredients of voriconazole. It is often used in aspergillosis. eHealthMe is studying from 12,128 Vfend users. Check the latest studies of Vfend.

50-59:

  1. Graft versus host disease in lung (the donated bone marrow or stem cells view the recipient's body as foreign, and the donated cells/bone marrow attack the lung)
  2. Guillain-barre syndrome (the body's immune system attacks its peripheral nervous system)
  3. Injury
  4. Malignant neoplasm progression (cancer tumour came back)

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on famotidine and voriconazole (the active ingredients of Pepcid and Vfend, respectively), and Pepcid and Vfend (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.

How to use the study?
