Imodium and Lopid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) and Lopid (gemfibrozil). Common drug interactions include chest pain among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imodium and Lopid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
