Tagamet and Melatonin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tagamet (cimetidine) and Melatonin (melatonin). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tagamet and Melatonin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 78 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
