Dronabinol and Phenergan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dronabinol (dronabinol) and Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hypokalaemia among females and dehydration among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dronabinol and Phenergan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 71 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
