Westcort and Singulair drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Westcort (hydrocortisone valerate) and Singulair (montelukast sodium). Common drug interactions include abdominal distension among females and deep vein thrombosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Westcort and Singulair. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
