Golytely and Chantix drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Golytely (polyethylene glycol 3350; potassium chloride; sodium bicarbonate; sodium chloride; sodium sulfate, anhydrous) and Chantix (varenicline tartrate). Common drug interactions include alopecia among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Golytely and Chantix. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
