Catapres and Zyprexa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Catapres (clonidine hydrochloride) and Zyprexa (olanzapine). Common drug interactions include dysfunctional uterine bleeding among females and head injury among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Catapres and Zyprexa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 93 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
