Irbesartan and Flector drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Irbesartan (irbesartan) and Flector (diclofenac epolamine). Common drug interactions include headache among females and peptic ulcer perforation among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Irbesartan and Flector. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 29 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
