Allegra and Dimetapp drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Allegra (fexofenadine hydrochloride) and Dimetapp (brompheniramine maleate; phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include pruritus among females and sinusitis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Allegra and Dimetapp. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 29 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
