Q10 and Macrobid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Q10 (coenzyme q - 10) and Macrobid (nitrofurantoin; nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline). Common drug interactions include lip pain among females and blood urine present among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Q10 and Macrobid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 82 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
