Mesalamine and Bentyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Mesalamine (mesalamine) and Bentyl (dicyclomine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hypotension among females and renal failure among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Mesalamine and Bentyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
