Imuran and Peridex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imuran (azathioprine) and Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate). Common drug interactions include cellulitis among females and pancreatitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imuran and Peridex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 33 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
