Plavix and Unisom drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Plavix (clopidogrel bisulfate) and Unisom (doxylamine succinate). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and coronary artery insufficiency among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Plavix and Unisom. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
