Serzone and Niaspan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Serzone (nefazodone hydrochloride) and Niaspan (niacin). Common drug interactions include colitis ischaemic among females and emotional distress among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Serzone and Niaspan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 39 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
