Glycolax and Lidoderm drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glycolax (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Lidoderm (lidocaine). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal motility disorder among females and application site reaction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glycolax and Lidoderm. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 55 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
