Niacin and Oxycontin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Niacin (niacin) and Oxycontin (oxycodone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cough among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Niacin and Oxycontin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
