Periactin and Bactrim ds drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride) and Bactrim ds (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and cardiac arrest among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Periactin and Bactrim ds. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
