Merrem and Compazine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Merrem (meropenem) and Compazine (prochlorperazine maleate). Common drug interactions include hypertension among females and headache among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Merrem and Compazine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Merrem?
