Zelnorm and Erythromycin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zelnorm (tegaserod maleate) and Erythromycin (erythromycin). Common drug interactions include gastrooesophageal reflux disease among females and depression among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zelnorm and Erythromycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
