Ibu and Micro-k drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ibu (ibuprofen) and Micro-k (potassium chloride). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and colon cancer metastatic among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ibu and Micro-k. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 55 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
