Melatonin and Zelnorm drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Melatonin (melatonin) and Zelnorm (tegaserod maleate). Common drug interactions include abdominal pain among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Melatonin and Zelnorm. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
