Sofosbuvir and Zantac drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sofosbuvir (sofosbuvir) and Zantac (ranitidine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include renal impairment among females and chronotropic incompetence among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sofosbuvir and Zantac. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 55 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
