Sodium bicarbonate and Indocin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sodium bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) and Indocin (indomethacin). Common drug interactions include neonatal respiratory distress syndrome among females and pleural effusion among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sodium bicarbonate and Indocin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Sodium bicarbonate?

Sodium bicarbonate has active ingredients of sodium bicarbonate. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 27,283 Sodium bicarbonate users. Check the latest studies of Sodium bicarbonate.

What is Indocin?

Indocin has active ingredients of indomethacin. It is often used in gout. eHealthMe is studying from 4,559 Indocin users. Check the latest studies of Indocin.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on sodium bicarbonate and indomethacin (the active ingredients of Sodium bicarbonate and Indocin, respectively), and Sodium bicarbonate and Indocin (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?
