Cardizem and Indomethacin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cardizem (diltiazem hydrochloride) and Indomethacin (indomethacin). Common drug interactions include muscular weakness among females and dyspnoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cardizem and Indomethacin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 60 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
