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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vancomycin (vancomycin) and Gemfibrozil (gemfibrozil). Common drug interactions include thrombocytopenia among females and cellulitis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vancomycin and Gemfibrozil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
