Asacol and Astelin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Asacol (mesalamine) and Astelin (azelastine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include myocardial oedema among females and injection site pain among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Asacol and Astelin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Asacol?

Asacol has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 20,618 Asacol users. Check the latest studies of Asacol.

What is Astelin?

Astelin has active ingredients of azelastine hydrochloride. It is often used in allergies. eHealthMe is studying from 5,538 Astelin users. Check the latest studies of Astelin.
