Copegus and Tracleer drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Copegus (ribavirin) and Tracleer (bosentan). Common drug interactions include alanine aminotransferase increased among females and balance disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Copegus and Tracleer. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Copegus?
