Whey protein and Fish oil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Whey protein (whey protein) and Fish oil (fish oil). Common drug interactions include metastases to lung among females and fatigue among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Whey protein and Fish oil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
