Trileptal and Rapamune drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) and Rapamune (sirolimus). Common drug interactions include basal cell carcinoma among females and seizure among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Trileptal and Rapamune. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 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 oxcarbazepine and sirolimus (the active ingredients of Trileptal and Rapamune, respectively), and Trileptal and Rapamune (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.
