Restasis and Benicar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil). Common drug interactions include drug ineffective among females and cough among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Benicar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 209 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Restasis?
Restasis has active ingredients of cyclosporine. It is often used in dry eyes. eHealthMe is studying from 35,199 Restasis users. Check the latest studies of Restasis.
What is Benicar?
Benicar has active ingredients of olmesartan medoxomil. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 36,002 Benicar users. Check the latest studies of Benicar.
