Ultram and Pegasys drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ultram (tramadol hydrochloride) and Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a). Common drug interactions include weight decreased among females and nausea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ultram and Pegasys. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 56 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
