Aciphex and Mevacor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Aciphex (rabeprazole sodium) and Mevacor (lovastatin). Common drug interactions include aortic valve incompetence among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Aciphex and Mevacor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 48 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
