Arginine and Simvastatin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Arginine (l - arginine) and Simvastatin (simvastatin). Common drug interactions include myalgia among females and diarrhoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Arginine and Simvastatin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 96 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Arginine?

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on l - arginine and simvastatin (the active ingredients of Arginine and Simvastatin, respectively), and Arginine and Simvastatin (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.

How to use the study?
