Valcyte and Spironolactone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valcyte (valganciclovir hydrochloride) and Spironolactone (spironolactone). Common drug interactions include urinary tract infection among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valcyte and Spironolactone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 65 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
