Synthroid and Ganciclovir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) and Ganciclovir (ganciclovir). Common drug interactions include hypocalcaemia among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Synthroid and Ganciclovir. 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 Synthroid?
Synthroid has active ingredients of levothyroxine sodium. It is often used in hypothyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 249,198 Synthroid users. Check the latest studies of Synthroid.
What is Ganciclovir?
Ganciclovir has active ingredients of ganciclovir. eHealthMe is studying from 6,370 Ganciclovir users. Check the latest studies of Ganciclovir.
31 people who take Synthroid and Ganciclovir together, and have interactions are studied.

male:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y zHow the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on levothyroxine sodium and ganciclovir (the active ingredients of Synthroid and Ganciclovir, respectively), and Synthroid and Ganciclovir (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?
