Embolex and Isoptin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Embolex (dihydroergotamine mesylate; heparin sodium; lidocaine hydrochloride) and Isoptin (verapamil hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include renal failure among females and cardiac failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Embolex and Isoptin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Embolex?
Embolex has active ingredients of dihydroergotamine mesylate; heparin sodium; lidocaine hydrochloride. eHealthMe is studying from 1,161 Embolex users. Check the latest studies of Embolex.
What is Isoptin?
Isoptin has active ingredients of verapamil hydrochloride. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 5,539 Isoptin users. Check the latest studies of Isoptin.
26 people who take Embolex and Isoptin together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on dihydroergotamine mesylate; heparin sodium; lidocaine hydrochloride and verapamil hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Embolex and Isoptin, respectively), and Embolex and Isoptin (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
