Singulair and Polytrim drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Singulair (montelukast sodium) and Polytrim (polymyxin b sulfate; trimethoprim sulfate). Common drug interactions include coronary artery occlusion among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Singulair and Polytrim. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
