Xenical and Serevent drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Xenical (orlistat) and Serevent (salmeterol xinafoate). Common drug interactions include pneumoperitoneum among females and dry mouth among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Xenical and Serevent. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Xenical?
Xenical has active ingredients of orlistat. It is often used in weight loss. eHealthMe is studying from 11,722 Xenical users. Check the latest studies of Xenical.
What is Serevent?
Serevent has active ingredients of salmeterol xinafoate. It is often used in asthma. eHealthMe is studying from 15,586 Serevent users. Check the latest studies of Serevent.
49 people who take Xenical and Serevent together, and have interactions are studied.
