Vytorin and Gentamicin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vytorin (ezetimibe; simvastatin) and Gentamicin (gentamicin sulfate). Common drug interactions include hyperdynamic left ventricle among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vytorin and Gentamicin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 43 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Vytorin?
Vytorin has active ingredients of ezetimibe; simvastatin. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 20,084 Vytorin users. Check the latest studies of Vytorin.
What is Gentamicin?
Gentamicin has active ingredients of gentamicin sulfate. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 21,654 Gentamicin users. Check the latest studies of Gentamicin.
43 people who take Vytorin and Gentamicin together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on ezetimibe; simvastatin and gentamicin sulfate (the active ingredients of Vytorin and Gentamicin, respectively), and Vytorin and Gentamicin (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.
