Minoxidil and Pradaxa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Minoxidil (minoxidil) and Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Minoxidil and Pradaxa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
