Claritin and Multaq drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Claritin (loratadine) and Multaq (dronedarone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include contusion among females and dyspnoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Claritin and Multaq. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 69 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
