Remicade and Primaxin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Remicade (infliximab) and Primaxin (cilastatin sodium; imipenem). Common drug interactions include pancreatitis among females and glioma among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Remicade and Primaxin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
