Epipen and Prograf drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Epipen (epinephrine) and Prograf (tacrolimus). Common drug interactions include cough among females and blood pressure increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Epipen and Prograf. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 81 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Epipen?

What is Prograf?
Prograf has active ingredients of tacrolimus. It is often used in kidney transplant. eHealthMe is studying from 42,230 Prograf users. Check the latest studies of Prograf.
81 people who take Epipen and Prograf together, and have interactions are studied.
