Yasmin and Ribavirin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Yasmin (drospirenone; ethinyl estradiol) and Ribavirin (ribavirin). Common drug interactions include meningitis among females and pain among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Yasmin and Ribavirin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
