Mefenamic acid and Heparin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Mefenamic acid (mefenamic acid) and Heparin (heparin sodium). Common drug interactions include acute prerenal failure among females and hereditary angioedema among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Mefenamic acid and Heparin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 36 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Mefenamic acid?
Mefenamic acid has active ingredients of mefenamic acid. It is often used in painful menstrual periods. eHealthMe is studying from 4,844 Mefenamic acid users. Check the latest studies of Mefenamic acid.
What is Heparin?
Heparin has active ingredients of heparin sodium. It is often used in blood clots. eHealthMe is studying from 92,141 Heparin users. Check the latest studies of Heparin.
36 people who take Mefenamic acid and Heparin together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on mefenamic acid and heparin sodium (the active ingredients of Mefenamic acid and Heparin, respectively), and Mefenamic acid and Heparin (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
