Dulcolax and Penicillin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dulcolax (bisacodyl) and Penicillin (penicillin g potassium). Common drug interactions include abdominal wall haematoma among females and somnolence among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dulcolax and Penicillin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Dulcolax?
Dulcolax has active ingredients of bisacodyl. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 12,897 Dulcolax users. Check the latest studies of Dulcolax.
What is Penicillin?
Penicillin has active ingredients of penicillin g potassium. It is often used in strep throat. eHealthMe is studying from 8,567 Penicillin users. Check the latest studies of Penicillin.
14 people who take Dulcolax and Penicillin together, and have interactions are studied.
