Fosamax and Ansaid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fosamax (alendronate sodium) and Ansaid (flurbiprofen). Common drug interactions include depression among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fosamax and Ansaid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
