Vancomycin hydrochloride and Precedex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vancomycin hydrochloride (vancomycin hydrochloride) and Precedex (dexmedetomidine). Common drug interactions include international normalised ratio increased among females and atrioventricular block first degree among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vancomycin hydrochloride and Precedex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on vancomycin hydrochloride and dexmedetomidine (the active ingredients of Vancomycin hydrochloride and Precedex, respectively), and Vancomycin hydrochloride and Precedex (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
