Nexium and Folacin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) and Folacin (folic acid). Common drug interactions include abdominal pain among females and abdominal pain upper among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nexium and Folacin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
