Rebif and Zometa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rebif (interferon beta-1a) and Zometa (zoledronic acid). Common drug interactions include infection among females and osteonecrosis of jaw among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rebif and Zometa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
