Lipitor and Dimetapp drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) and Dimetapp (brompheniramine maleate; phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cerebrovascular accident among females and anxiety among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lipitor and Dimetapp. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
