Garlic and Zolpidem drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Garlic (allium sativum) and Zolpidem (zolpidem tartrate). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and cellulitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Garlic and Zolpidem. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
