Pulmicort and Procardia drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pulmicort (budesonide) and Procardia (nifedipine). Common drug interactions include drug intolerance among females and acute myocardial infarction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pulmicort and Procardia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pulmicort?
Pulmicort has active ingredients of budesonide. It is often used in asthma. eHealthMe is studying from 34,980 Pulmicort users. Check the latest studies of Pulmicort.
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.
77 people who take Pulmicort and Procardia together, and have interactions are studied.
