Lomotil and Thalidomide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lomotil (atropine sulfate; diphenoxylate hydrochloride) and Thalidomide (thalidomide). Common drug interactions include lymphopenia among females and bone disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lomotil and Thalidomide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Lomotil?
Lomotil has active ingredients of atropine sulfate; diphenoxylate hydrochloride. It is often used in diarrhea. eHealthMe is studying from 19,184 Lomotil users. Check the latest studies of Lomotil.
What is Thalidomide?
Thalidomide has active ingredients of thalidomide. eHealthMe is studying from 16,473 Thalidomide users. Check the latest studies of Thalidomide.
57 people who take Lomotil and Thalidomide together, and have interactions are studied.
