Valtrex and Vancomycin hcl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valtrex (valacyclovir hydrochloride) and Vancomycin hcl (vancomycin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include chronic sinusitis among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valtrex and Vancomycin hcl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 43 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
