Clarithromycin and Flomax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Clarithromycin (clarithromycin) and Flomax (tamsulosin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hypertension among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Clarithromycin and Flomax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 99 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
