Nucynta and Zocor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nucynta (tapentadol hydrochloride) and Zocor (simvastatin). Common drug interactions include haematuria among females and serotonin syndrome among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nucynta and Zocor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 71 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
