Cellcept and Copegus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cellcept (mycophenolate mofetil) and Copegus (ribavirin). Common drug interactions include hypertension among females and confusional state among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cellcept and Copegus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 72 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
