Delsym and Vitamins drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Delsym (dextromethorphan polistirex) and Vitamins (ascorbic acid; biotin; cyanocobalamin; dexpanthenol; ergocalciferol; folic acid; niacinamide; pyridoxine hydrochloride; riboflavin phosphate sodium; thiamine hydrochloride; vitamin a; vitamin e). Common drug interactions include drug effect decreased among females and diarrhoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Delsym and Vitamins. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
