Garlic and Heparin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Garlic (allium sativum) and Heparin (heparin sodium). Common drug interactions include chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy among females and cellulitis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Garlic and Heparin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
