Actonel and Zelnorm drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Actonel (risedronate sodium) and Zelnorm (tegaserod maleate). Common drug interactions include fall among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Actonel and Zelnorm. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 82 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
