Zantac and Carmustine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zantac (ranitidine hydrochloride) and Carmustine (carmustine). Common drug interactions include abdominal pain among females and pyrexia among males.

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