Plendil and Procardia drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Plendil (felodipine) and Procardia (nifedipine). Common drug interactions include skin exfoliation among females and myocardial infarction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Plendil and Procardia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Plendil?
Plendil has active ingredients of felodipine. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 4,990 Plendil users. Check the latest studies of Plendil.
What is Procardia?
Procardia has active ingredients of nifedipine. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 15,151 Procardia users. Check the latest studies of Procardia.
38 people who take Plendil and Procardia together, and have interactions are studied.
