Biaxin and Mellaril drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Mellaril (thioridazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hallucination among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Biaxin and Mellaril. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
