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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zelnorm (tegaserod maleate) and Clonidine (clonidine). Common drug interactions include pain in extremity among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zelnorm and Clonidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 91 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
