Efavirenz and Fentanyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Efavirenz (efavirenz) and Fentanyl (fentanyl citrate). Common drug interactions include abdominal distension among females and arthralgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Efavirenz and Fentanyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
