Marinol and Viracept drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Marinol (dronabinol) and Viracept (nelfinavir mesylate). Common drug interactions include dermatitis among females and emotional distress among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Marinol and Viracept. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 33 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
