Exidine and Actigall drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Exidine (chlorhexidine gluconate) and Actigall (ursodiol). Common drug interactions include occult blood positive among females and cellulitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Exidine and Actigall. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on chlorhexidine gluconate and ursodiol (the active ingredients of Exidine and Actigall, respectively), and Exidine and Actigall (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
