Gemfibrozil and Gaviscon drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gemfibrozil (gemfibrozil) and Gaviscon (aluminum hydroxide; magnesium trisilicate). Common drug interactions include diabetic retinopathy among females and coagulopathy among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gemfibrozil and Gaviscon. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 33 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
