Nitrostat and Xenical drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nitrostat (nitroglycerin) and Xenical (orlistat). Common drug interactions include vomiting among females and hepatocellular damage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nitrostat and Xenical. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
