Sectral and Neoral drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sectral (acebutolol hydrochloride) and Neoral (cyclosporine). Common drug interactions include blood creatine phosphokinase increased among females and renal impairment among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sectral and Neoral. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 59 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
