Verelan and Bactrim drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Verelan (verapamil hydrochloride) and Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and blindness among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Verelan and Bactrim. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
