Ranitidine and Cosopt drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ranitidine (ranitidine) and Cosopt (dorzolamide hydrochloride; timolol maleate). Common drug interactions include disease progression among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ranitidine and Cosopt. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49 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 Cosopt?
Cosopt has active ingredients of dorzolamide hydrochloride; timolol maleate. It is often used in glaucoma. eHealthMe is studying from 9,029 Cosopt users. Check the latest studies of Cosopt.
49 people who take Ranitidine and Cosopt together, and have interactions are studied.
