Solu-cortef and Sandimmune drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Solu-cortef (hydrocortisone sodium succinate) and Sandimmune (cyclosporine). Common drug interactions include hypertension among females and renal failure acute among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Solu-cortef and Sandimmune. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 63 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Solu-cortef?
Solu-cortef has active ingredients of hydrocortisone sodium succinate. eHealthMe is studying from 7,983 Solu-cortef users. Check the latest studies of Solu-cortef.
What is Sandimmune?
Sandimmune has active ingredients of cyclosporine. eHealthMe is studying from 6,694 Sandimmune users. Check the latest studies of Sandimmune.
63 people who take Solu-cortef and Sandimmune together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on hydrocortisone sodium succinate and cyclosporine (the active ingredients of Solu-cortef and Sandimmune, respectively), and Solu-cortef and Sandimmune (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.
