Niacin and Androderm drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Niacin (niacin) and Androderm (testosterone). Common drug interactions include flushing among females and pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Niacin and Androderm. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
