Rituxan and Zoledronic drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rituxan (rituximab) and Zoledronic (zoledronic acid). Common drug interactions include mouth ulceration among females and alanine aminotransferase increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rituxan and Zoledronic. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 29 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
