Soma and Gemfibrozil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Soma (carisoprodol) and Gemfibrozil (gemfibrozil). Common drug interactions include pneumonia among females and injury among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Soma and Gemfibrozil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 71 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Soma?

Soma has active ingredients of carisoprodol. It is often used in muscle spasms. eHealthMe is studying from 17,137 Soma users. Check the latest studies of Soma.

What is Gemfibrozil?

Gemfibrozil has active ingredients of gemfibrozil. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 18,213 Gemfibrozil users. Check the latest studies of Gemfibrozil.
