Phentermine and Flomax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Phentermine (phentermine hydrochloride) and Flomax (tamsulosin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include nephrogenic anaemia among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Phentermine and Flomax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
