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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Procardia (nifedipine) and Lidoderm (lidocaine). Common drug interactions include neurogenic bladder among females and carpal tunnel syndrome among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Procardia and Lidoderm. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
