Protopic and Aldactone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Protopic (tacrolimus) and Aldactone (spironolactone). Common drug interactions include post procedural haemorrhage among females and mitral valve incompetence among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Protopic and Aldactone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 23 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Protopic?
Protopic has active ingredients of tacrolimus. It is often used in eczema. eHealthMe is studying from 5,403 Protopic users. Check the latest studies of Protopic.
What is Aldactone?
Aldactone has active ingredients of spironolactone. It is often used in acne. eHealthMe is studying from 46,063 Aldactone users. Check the latest studies of Aldactone.
23 people who take Protopic and Aldactone together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on tacrolimus and spironolactone (the active ingredients of Protopic and Aldactone, respectively), and Protopic and Aldactone (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.
