Pulmicort and Acetazolamide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pulmicort (budesonide) and Acetazolamide (acetazolamide). Common drug interactions include headache among females and altered state of consciousness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pulmicort and Acetazolamide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pulmicort?
Pulmicort has active ingredients of budesonide. It is often used in asthma. eHealthMe is studying from 34,980 Pulmicort users. Check the latest studies of Pulmicort.
What is Acetazolamide?
Acetazolamide has active ingredients of acetazolamide. It is often used in pseudotumor cerebri. eHealthMe is studying from 6,178 Acetazolamide users. Check the latest studies of Acetazolamide.
22 people who take Pulmicort and Acetazolamide together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on budesonide and acetazolamide (the active ingredients of Pulmicort and Acetazolamide, respectively), and Pulmicort and Acetazolamide (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.
