Creon and Guaifenesin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Creon (pancrelipase (amylase;lipase;protease)) and Guaifenesin (guaifenesin). Common drug interactions include constipation among females and sputum increased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Creon and Guaifenesin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 81 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
