Vancomycin hcl and Sertraline drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vancomycin hcl (vancomycin hydrochloride) and Sertraline (sertraline hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include ocular hyperaemia among females and nephropathy toxic among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vancomycin hcl and Sertraline. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 50 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
