Norvasc and Activase drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Norvasc (amlodipine besylate) and Activase (alteplase). Common drug interactions include pyrexia among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Norvasc and Activase. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 66 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on amlodipine besylate and alteplase (the active ingredients of Norvasc and Activase, respectively), and Norvasc and Activase (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
