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.

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.

How to use the study?
