Avapro and Pamelor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Avapro (irbesartan) and Pamelor (nortriptyline hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hypercholesterolaemia among females and convulsions among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Avapro and Pamelor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
