Amitiza and Revatio drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Amitiza (lubiprostone) and Revatio (sildenafil citrate). Common drug interactions include brain natriuretic peptide increased among females and hypersensitivity among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Amitiza and Revatio. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
