Mestinon and Adalat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Mestinon (pyridostigmine bromide) and Adalat (nifedipine). Common drug interactions include blood sodium decreased among females and tremor among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Mestinon and Adalat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Mestinon?
