Cardizem and Actifed drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cardizem (diltiazem hydrochloride) and Actifed (pseudoephedrine hydrochloride; triprolidine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include anxiety among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cardizem and Actifed. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Cardizem has active ingredients of diltiazem hydrochloride. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 28,014 Cardizem users. Check the latest studies of Cardizem.
What is Actifed?
Actifed has active ingredients of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride; triprolidine hydrochloride. It is often used in allergies. eHealthMe is studying from 1,091 Actifed users. Check the latest studies of Actifed.
14 people who take Cardizem and Actifed together, and have interactions are studied.
