Loraz and Chloramphenicol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Loraz (lorazepam) and Chloramphenicol (chloramphenicol). Common drug interactions include oral candidiasis among females and gastric perforation among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Loraz and Chloramphenicol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 96 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
