Zelnorm and Aldactone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zelnorm (tegaserod maleate) and Aldactone (spironolactone). Common drug interactions include umbilical hernia among females and abdominal pain among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zelnorm and Aldactone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
