Procardia and Hctz drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Procardia (nifedipine) and Hctz (hydrochlorothiazide). Common drug interactions include lacrimation increased among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Procardia and Hctz. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
