Nifedipine and Pitavastatin calcium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nifedipine (nifedipine) and Pitavastatin calcium (pitavastatin calcium). Common drug interactions include cushingoid among females and pemphigoid among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nifedipine and Pitavastatin calcium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 82 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Nifedipine?
Nifedipine has active ingredients of nifedipine. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 53,459 Nifedipine users. Check the latest studies of Nifedipine.
What is Pitavastatin calcium?
Pitavastatin calcium has active ingredients of pitavastatin calcium. eHealthMe is studying from 1,710 Pitavastatin calcium users. Check the latest studies of Pitavastatin calcium.
82 people who take Nifedipine and Pitavastatin calcium together, and have interactions are studied.
