Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Claritin (loratadine) and Cardene (nicardipine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include genitourinary tract infection among females and deep vein thrombosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Claritin and Cardene. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
