Delsym and Ranitidine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Delsym (dextromethorphan polistirex) and Ranitidine (ranitidine). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and adjustment disorder with depressed mood among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Delsym and Ranitidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
