Rifampin and Coreg drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rifampin (rifampin) and Coreg (carvedilol). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and arrhythmia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rifampin and Coreg. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Rifampin?
Rifampin has active ingredients of rifampin. It is often used in tuberculosis. eHealthMe is studying from 12,339 Rifampin users. Check the latest studies of Rifampin.
What is Coreg?
Coreg has active ingredients of carvedilol. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 49,583 Coreg users. Check the latest studies of Coreg.
44 people who take Rifampin and Coreg together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on rifampin and carvedilol (the active ingredients of Rifampin and Coreg, respectively), and Rifampin and Coreg (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
