Cipro and Niacin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cipro (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride) and Niacin (niacin). Common drug interactions include cellulitis among females and chest pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cipro and Niacin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 65 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cipro?
Cipro has active ingredients of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 35,126 Cipro users. Check the latest studies of Cipro.
What is Niacin?
Niacin has active ingredients of niacin. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 9,008 Niacin users. Check the latest studies of Niacin.
65 people who take Cipro and Niacin together, and have interactions are studied.
