Lipoic acid and Peridex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lipoic acid (alpha - lipoic acid) and Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate). Common drug interactions include fatigue among females and cellulitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lipoic acid and Peridex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Lipoic acid?
Lipoic acid has active ingredients of alpha - lipoic acid. It is often used in peripheral neuropathy. eHealthMe is studying from 5,920 Lipoic acid users. Check the latest studies of Lipoic acid.
What is Peridex?
Peridex has active ingredients of chlorhexidine gluconate. eHealthMe is studying from 2,803 Peridex users. Check the latest studies of Peridex.
14 people who take Lipoic acid and Peridex together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on alpha - lipoic acid and chlorhexidine gluconate (the active ingredients of Lipoic acid and Peridex, respectively), and Lipoic acid and Peridex (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
