Tacrolimus and Accutane drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tacrolimus (tacrolimus) and Accutane (isotretinoin). Common drug interactions include colitis ulcerative among females and depression among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tacrolimus and Accutane. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
