Cardizem and Excedrin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cardizem (diltiazem hydrochloride) and Excedrin (acetaminophen; aspirin; caffeine). Common drug interactions include aortic stenosis among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cardizem and Excedrin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
