Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Cocaine and Desipramine can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Cocaine belongs to Central Nervous System; Desipramine belongs to Central Nervous System.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene
