Copaxone and Androgel drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) and Androgel (testosterone). Common drug interactions include chest pain among females and fall among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Copaxone and Androgel. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
