Pepcid ac and Nitrostat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pepcid ac (famotidine) and Nitrostat (nitroglycerin). Common drug interactions include aortic valve incompetence among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pepcid ac and Nitrostat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 68 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Pepcid ac?

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on famotidine and nitroglycerin (the active ingredients of Pepcid ac and Nitrostat, respectively), and Pepcid ac and Nitrostat (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.
