Carnitine and Viracept drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Carnitine (l - carnitine) and Viracept (nelfinavir mesylate). Common drug interactions include hypophosphataemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Carnitine and Viracept. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 21 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
