Glycolax and Lactulose drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glycolax (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Lactulose (lactulose). Common drug interactions include surgery among females and anaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glycolax and Lactulose. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 63 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
