Guaifenesin and Left ventricular failure - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Left ventricular failure is reported as a side effect among people who take Guaifenesin (guaifenesin), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, also take Tamsulosin, and have Primary pulmonary hypertension.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Left ventricular failure when taking Guaifenesin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11,942 people who have side effects when taking Guaifenesin from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
