Sandimmune and Fentanyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sandimmune (cyclosporine) and Fentanyl (fentanyl citrate). Common drug interactions include laryngeal oedema among females and graft versus host disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sandimmune and Fentanyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Sandimmune and Fentanyl drug interactions.

What are the common drug interactions of Sandimmune and Fentanyl, by gender? *:

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cyclosporine and fentanyl citrate (the active ingredients of Sandimmune and Fentanyl, respectively), and Sandimmune and Fentanyl (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.

How to use the study?

DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
