Indocin and Acetaminophen drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Indocin (indomethacin) and Acetaminophen (acetaminophen). Common drug interactions include nausea among females and anxiety among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Indocin and Acetaminophen. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 88 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
