Trimethoprim and Pyrimethamine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Trimethoprim (trimethoprim) and Pyrimethamine (pyrimethamine). Common drug interactions include hyperglycaemia among females and hypotension among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Trimethoprim and Pyrimethamine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
