Dramamine and Promethazine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) and Promethazine (promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include pain among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dramamine and Promethazine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
