Lipitor and Viramune drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) and Viramune (nevirapine). Common drug interactions include abdominal pain upper among females and emotional distress among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lipitor and Viramune. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 74 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
