Accutane and Heparin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Accutane (isotretinoin) and Heparin (heparin sodium). Common drug interactions include drug hypersensitivity among females and inflammatory bowel disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Accutane and Heparin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
