Phentermine and Azithromycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Phentermine (phentermine hydrochloride) and Azithromycin (azithromycin). Common drug interactions include dependence among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Phentermine and Azithromycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 90 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Phentermine?
Phentermine has active ingredients of phentermine hydrochloride. It is often used in weight loss. eHealthMe is studying from 19,870 Phentermine users. Check the latest studies of Phentermine.
