Ranitidine and Acthar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ranitidine (ranitidine) and Acthar (corticotropin). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and irritability among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ranitidine and Acthar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 42 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Ranitidine?

Ranitidine has active ingredients of ranitidine. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 234,475 Ranitidine users. Check the latest studies of Ranitidine.

What is Acthar?

Acthar has active ingredients of corticotropin. eHealthMe is studying from 4,948 Acthar users. Check the latest studies of Acthar.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on ranitidine and corticotropin (the active ingredients of Ranitidine and Acthar, respectively), and Ranitidine and Acthar (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.

How to use the study?
