Colestid and Magnesium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Colestid (colestipol hydrochloride) and Magnesium (magnesium). Common drug interactions include abdominal discomfort among females and kidney infection among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Colestid and Magnesium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 74 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
