Duragesic and Pradaxa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Duragesic (fentanyl) and Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate). Common drug interactions include neuralgia among females and gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Duragesic and Pradaxa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 59 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
