Gemfibrozil and Clozaril drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gemfibrozil (gemfibrozil) and Clozaril (clozapine). Common drug interactions include neuroleptic malignant syndrome among females and antipsychotic drug level increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gemfibrozil and Clozaril. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 63 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
