Captopril and Pegasys drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Captopril (captopril) and Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a). Common drug interactions include grand mal convulsion among females and chills among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Captopril and Pegasys. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Captopril?
Captopril has active ingredients of captopril. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 17,438 Captopril users. Check the latest studies of Captopril.
What is Pegasys?
Pegasys has active ingredients of peginterferon alfa 2a. It is often used in hepatitis c. eHealthMe is studying from 57,446 Pegasys users. Check the latest studies of Pegasys.
17 people who take Captopril and Pegasys together, and have interactions are studied.
