Restasis and Cleocin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Cleocin (clindamycin phosphate). Common drug interactions include osteomyelitis among females and abscess neck among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Cleocin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 52 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
