Lovastatin and Emla drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lovastatin (lovastatin) and Emla (lidocaine; prilocaine). Common drug interactions include haemoglobin decreased among females and lentigo maligna stage unspecified among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lovastatin and Emla. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
