Imitrex and Flomax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imitrex (sumatriptan succinate) and Flomax (tamsulosin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include malaise among females and blood glucose increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imitrex and Flomax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
