Restasis and Ester c drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Ester c (l-ascorbic acid). Common drug interactions include drug ineffective among females and infusion site haemorrhage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Ester c. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 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 Ester c?
Ester c has active ingredients of l-ascorbic acid. eHealthMe is studying from 306 Ester c users. Check the latest studies of Ester c.
13 people who take Restasis and Ester c together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cyclosporine and l-ascorbic acid (the active ingredients of Restasis and Ester c, respectively), and Restasis and Ester c (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.
