Imodium and Pamelor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) and Pamelor (nortriptyline hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hepatic steatosis among females and blood bilirubin increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imodium and Pamelor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
