Valacyclovir and Sporanox drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valacyclovir (valacyclovir hydrochloride) and Sporanox (itraconazole). Common drug interactions include immunosuppressant drug level increased among females and septic shock among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valacyclovir and Sporanox. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
