Bidil and Ambien drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Bidil (hydralazine hydrochloride; isosorbide dinitrate) and Ambien (zolpidem tartrate). Common drug interactions include hiatus hernia among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Bidil and Ambien. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
