Niacin and Carafate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Niacin (niacin) and Carafate (sucralfate). Common drug interactions include pericarditis lupus among females and myocardial infarction among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Niacin and Carafate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
