Cardizem and Perforomist drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cardizem (diltiazem hydrochloride) and Perforomist (formoterol fumarate). Common drug interactions include palpitations among females and bacterial infection among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cardizem and Perforomist. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 36 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
