Quinine and Meloxicam drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Quinine (cinchona) and Meloxicam (meloxicam). Common drug interactions include neurodermatitis among females and confusional state among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Quinine and Meloxicam. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 80 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Quinine?
Quinine has active ingredients of cinchona. It is often used in leg pain. eHealthMe is studying from 4,981 Quinine users. Check the latest studies of Quinine.
What is Meloxicam?
Meloxicam has active ingredients of meloxicam. It is often used in arthritis. eHealthMe is studying from 68,016 Meloxicam users. Check the latest studies of Meloxicam.
80 people who take Quinine and Meloxicam together, and have interactions are studied.
