Methotrexate and Minipress drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Methotrexate (methotrexate sodium) and Minipress (prazosin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cardiac failure congestive among females and priapism among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Methotrexate and Minipress. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
