Pravachol and Penicillin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pravachol (pravastatin sodium) and Penicillin (penicillin g potassium). Common drug interactions include arteriosclerosis coronary artery among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pravachol and Penicillin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 33 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pravachol?
Pravachol has active ingredients of pravastatin sodium. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 24,382 Pravachol users. Check the latest studies of Pravachol.
What is Penicillin?
Penicillin has active ingredients of penicillin g potassium. It is often used in strep throat. eHealthMe is studying from 8,567 Penicillin users. Check the latest studies of Penicillin.
33 people who take Pravachol and Penicillin together, and have interactions are studied.
