Cosopt and Adalat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cosopt (dorzolamide hydrochloride; timolol maleate) and Adalat (nifedipine). Common drug interactions include urosepsis among females and cerebral haemorrhage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cosopt and Adalat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
