Fentanyl and Nicorette drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fentanyl (fentanyl citrate) and Nicorette (nicotine polacrilex). Common drug interactions include heart rate increased among females and atrial flutter among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fentanyl and Nicorette. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Fentanyl?

Fentanyl has active ingredients of fentanyl citrate. It is often used in pain. eHealthMe is studying from 73,301 Fentanyl users. Check the latest studies of Fentanyl.

What is Nicorette?

Nicorette has active ingredients of nicotine polacrilex. It is often used in quit smoking. eHealthMe is studying from 18,484 Nicorette users. Check the latest studies of Nicorette.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on fentanyl citrate and nicotine polacrilex (the active ingredients of Fentanyl and Nicorette, respectively), and Fentanyl and Nicorette (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.

How to use the study?
