Primidone and Zemplar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Primidone (primidone) and Zemplar (paricalcitol). Common drug interactions include oedema peripheral among females and confusional state among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Primidone and Zemplar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Primidone?
Primidone has active ingredients of primidone. It is often used in essential tremor. eHealthMe is studying from 10,474 Primidone users. Check the latest studies of Primidone.
What is Zemplar?
Zemplar has active ingredients of paricalcitol. It is often used in kidney disease. eHealthMe is studying from 15,494 Zemplar users. Check the latest studies of Zemplar.
eHealthMe: drug outcomes in the real world
eHealthMe runs one of the largest post-marketing drug safety studies in the world. We study millions of patients and 5,000 more each day. Our data-driven phase IV clinical trials have been referenced on 800+ peer-reviewed medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature. Tools to study our phase IV findings are available to the public, anonymous and free >>>.
12 people who take Primidone and Zemplar together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on primidone and paricalcitol (the active ingredients of Primidone and Zemplar, respectively), and Primidone and Zemplar (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.
