Maxidex and Movicol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Maxidex (dexamethasone) and Movicol (polyethylene glycol 3350). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and anaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Maxidex and Movicol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Movicol?
Movicol has active ingredients of polyethylene glycol 3350. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 14,249 Movicol users. Check the latest studies of Movicol.
11 people who take Maxidex and Movicol together, and have interactions are studied.
