Restasis and Ocaliva drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Restasis (cyclosporine) and Ocaliva (obeticholic acid). Common drug interactions include pruritus among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Restasis and Ocaliva. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
