Megace and Isordil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Megace (megestrol acetate) and Isordil (isosorbide dinitrate). Common drug interactions include colonic polyp among females and dyspnoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Megace and Isordil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Megace?
Megace has active ingredients of megestrol acetate. It is often used in weight loss. eHealthMe is studying from 10,095 Megace users. Check the latest studies of Megace.
What is Isordil?
Isordil has active ingredients of isosorbide dinitrate. eHealthMe is studying from 3,022 Isordil users. Check the latest studies of Isordil.
19 people who take Megace and Isordil together, and have interactions are studied.
