Imitrex and Rituxan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imitrex (sumatriptan succinate) and Rituxan (rituximab). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and anaesthetic complication among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imitrex and Rituxan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
