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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Mesalamine (mesalamine). Common drug interactions include concussion among females and decreased appetite among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Mesalamine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 61 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 Mesalamine?

Mesalamine has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 28,053 Mesalamine users. Check the latest studies of Mesalamine.
