Amitiza and Pacerone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Amitiza (lubiprostone) and Pacerone (amiodarone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cataract among females and abdominal discomfort among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Amitiza and Pacerone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Amitiza has active ingredients of lubiprostone. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 10,567 Amitiza users. Check the latest studies of Amitiza.
What is Pacerone?
Pacerone has active ingredients of amiodarone hydrochloride. It is often used in atrial fibrillation/flutter. eHealthMe is studying from 2,814 Pacerone users. Check the latest studies of Pacerone.
11 people who take Amitiza and Pacerone together, and have interactions are studied.
