Retin-a and Multivitamin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Retin-a (tretinoin) and Multivitamin (ascorbic acid; biotin; cyanocobalamin; dexpanthenol; ergocalciferol; folic acid; niacinamide; pyridoxine hydrochloride; riboflavin phosphate sodium; thiamine hydrochloride; vitamin a; vitamin e). Common drug interactions include application site erythema among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Retin-a and Multivitamin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
