Effexor and Mepergan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Effexor (venlafaxine hydrochloride) and Mepergan (meperidine hydrochloride; promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cardiac murmur among females and sinusitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Effexor and Mepergan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
