Rapamune and Actonel drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rapamune (sirolimus) and Actonel (risedronate sodium). Common drug interactions include lymphoedema among females and blood creatinine increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rapamune and Actonel. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
