Norpramin and Zoloft drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Norpramin (desipramine hydrochloride) and Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include drug hypersensitivity among females and anaphylactic shock among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Norpramin and Zoloft. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
