Cardizem and Persantine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cardizem (diltiazem hydrochloride) and Persantine (dipyridamole). Common drug interactions include anaemia among females and ecchymosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cardizem and Persantine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 60 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cardizem?
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 Persantine?
Persantine has active ingredients of dipyridamole. eHealthMe is studying from 2,427 Persantine users. Check the latest studies of Persantine.
60 people who take Cardizem and Persantine together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on diltiazem hydrochloride and dipyridamole (the active ingredients of Cardizem and Persantine, respectively), and Cardizem and Persantine (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
