Chlorothiazide and Zantac drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Chlorothiazide (chlorothiazide) and Zantac (ranitidine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include arrhythmia among females and renal failure acute among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Chlorothiazide and Zantac. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on chlorothiazide and ranitidine hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Chlorothiazide and Zantac, respectively), and Chlorothiazide and Zantac (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.
