Valproic acid and Ganciclovir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valproic acid (valproic acid) and Ganciclovir (ganciclovir). Common drug interactions include haemoglobin decreased among females and abdominal sepsis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valproic acid and Ganciclovir. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
