Restasis and Lucentis drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Lucentis (ranibizumab). Common drug interactions include myalgia among females and vitreous floaters among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Lucentis. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 36 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 Lucentis?
Lucentis has active ingredients of ranibizumab. It is often used in macular degeneration. eHealthMe is studying from 25,647 Lucentis users. Check the latest studies of Lucentis.
