Pletal and Meropenem drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pletal (cilostazol) and Meropenem (meropenem). Common drug interactions include diabetes mellitus among females and hyperkalaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pletal and Meropenem. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
