Zoloft and Zicam drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride) and Zicam (zinc gluconate). Common drug interactions include anosmia among females and anosmia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zoloft and Zicam. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
