Femara and Codeine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Femara (letrozole) and Codeine (codeine sulfate). Common drug interactions include metastases to liver among females and altered state of consciousness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Femara and Codeine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
