Mesalamine and Lactobacillus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Mesalamine (mesalamine) and Lactobacillus (lactobacillus). Common drug interactions include alopecia among females and intestinal obstruction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Mesalamine and Lactobacillus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 81 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Mesalamine?
Mesalamine has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 28,053 Mesalamine users. Check the latest studies of Mesalamine.
What is Lactobacillus?
Lactobacillus has active ingredients of lactobacillus. It is often used in stomach discomfort. eHealthMe is studying from 5,854 Lactobacillus users. Check the latest studies of Lactobacillus.
eHealthMe: drug outcomes in the real world
eHealthMe runs one of the largest post-marketing drug safety studies in the world. We study millions of patients and 5,000 more each day.
