Ventavis and Heparin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ventavis (iloprost) and Heparin (heparin sodium). Common drug interactions include dry throat among females and low birth weight baby among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ventavis and Heparin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on iloprost and heparin sodium (the active ingredients of Ventavis and Heparin, respectively), and Ventavis and Heparin (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
