Nitro-dur and Dexamethasone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nitro-dur (nitroglycerin) and Dexamethasone (dexamethasone). Common drug interactions include cardiomyopathy among females and chest pain among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nitro-dur and Dexamethasone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
