Flolan and Lanoxin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flolan (epoprostenol sodium) and Lanoxin (digoxin). Common drug interactions include hypotension among females and fluid retention among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flolan and Lanoxin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
