Bacterial Infections and Mycoses Clinical Trial

Official title: Safety of Fluconazole Treatment of Premature and Full-term Newborn Infants - A Study on Interactions by Nonsteroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) With Fluconazole in Respect of Pharmacodynamic Endpoints With Urinary Excretion of Vasoactive Endobiotics

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate pharmacological interventions between fluconazole and ibuprofen when they are given to premature newborn babys. This in order to find out if the drugs are influencing each other when they are given at the same time. The study is meant to find out if there are reasons to adjust the dose when fluconazole and ibuprofen are given together.
