Imodium and Clozapine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) and Clozapine (clozapine). Common drug interactions include megacolon among females and gastroenteritis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imodium and Clozapine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Imodium?
Imodium has active ingredients of loperamide hydrochloride. It is often used in diarrhea. eHealthMe is studying from 45,092 Imodium users. Check the latest studies of Imodium.
What is Clozapine?
Clozapine has active ingredients of clozapine. It is often used in schizophrenia. eHealthMe is studying from 83,728 Clozapine users. Check the latest studies of Clozapine.
40 people who take Imodium and Clozapine together, and have interactions are studied.
