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.
