Colace and Carpine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Colace (docusate ) and Carpine (pilocarpine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and deep vein thrombosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Colace and Carpine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 86 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
