Valsartan and Cogentin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valsartan (valsartan) and Cogentin (benztropine mesylate). Common drug interactions include psychotic disorder among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valsartan and Cogentin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
