Micafungin and Pseudomonas infection - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Pseudomonas infection is reported as a side effect among people who take Micafungin (micafungin sodium), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Tacrolimus, and have Bone marrow conditioning regimen.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Pseudomonas infection when taking Micafungin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 6,557 people who have side effects when taking Micafungin from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
