Haldol and Precedex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Haldol (haloperidol) and Precedex (dexmedetomidine). Common drug interactions include vomiting among females and cardiac arrest among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Haldol and Precedex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Haldol?
Haldol has active ingredients of haloperidol. It is often used in schizophrenia. eHealthMe is studying from 23,102 Haldol users. Check the latest studies of Haldol.
What is Precedex?
Precedex has active ingredients of dexmedetomidine. eHealthMe is studying from 1,007 Precedex users. Check the latest studies of Precedex.
18 people who take Haldol and Precedex together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on haloperidol and dexmedetomidine (the active ingredients of Haldol and Precedex, respectively), and Haldol and Precedex (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.
