Folvite and Imodium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Folvite (folic acid) and Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include clostridial infection among females and anaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Folvite and Imodium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 97 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
