Tegretol and Prograf drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tegretol (carbamazepine) and Prograf (tacrolimus). Common drug interactions include tremor among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tegretol and Prograf. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
