Vancomycin hydrochloride and Demerol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vancomycin hydrochloride (vancomycin hydrochloride) and Demerol (meperidine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include pyrexia among females and balance disorder among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vancomycin hydrochloride and Demerol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
