Rapamune and Effexor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rapamune (sirolimus) and Effexor (venlafaxine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include blood urea increased among females and antidepressant drug level increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rapamune and Effexor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
