Cytomel and Phenergan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cytomel (liothyronine sodium) and Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cytomel and Phenergan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 48 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
