Topamax and Vancomycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Topamax (topiramate) and Vancomycin (vancomycin). Common drug interactions include poor venous access among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Topamax and Vancomycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 33 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Topamax?

Topamax has active ingredients of topiramate. It is often used in migraine. eHealthMe is studying from 58,953 Topamax users. Check the latest studies of Topamax.

What is Vancomycin?

Vancomycin has active ingredients of vancomycin. eHealthMe is studying from 17,165 Vancomycin users. Check the latest studies of Vancomycin.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on topiramate and vancomycin (the active ingredients of Topamax and Vancomycin, respectively), and Topamax and Vancomycin (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?

DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
