Singulair and Intron a drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Singulair (montelukast sodium) and Intron a (interferon alfa-2b). Common drug interactions include pain among females and aphonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Singulair and Intron a. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
