Imodium and Apriso drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) and Apriso (mesalamine). Common drug interactions include body mass index increased among females and anastomotic complication among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imodium and Apriso. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 63 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
