Asacol and Senna drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Asacol (mesalamine) and Senna (senna). Common drug interactions include blood pressure fluctuation among females and altered state of consciousness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Asacol and Senna. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 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 Senna?
Senna has active ingredients of senna. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 37,302 Senna users. Check the latest studies of Senna.
22 people who take Asacol and Senna together, and have interactions are studied.
