Cholestyramine and Lactobacillus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cholestyramine (cholestyramine) and Lactobacillus (lactobacillus). Common drug interactions include suicidal ideation among females and acute respiratory failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cholestyramine and Lactobacillus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 54 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
