Catapres and Azithromycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Catapres (clonidine hydrochloride) and Azithromycin (azithromycin). Common drug interactions include hypotension among females and vomiting among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Catapres and Azithromycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 50 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
