Mucinex and Prograf drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Mucinex (guaifenesin) and Prograf (tacrolimus). Common drug interactions include pain among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Mucinex and Prograf. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 58 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
