Methimazole and Acidophilus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Methimazole (methimazole) and Acidophilus (lactobacillus). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Methimazole and Acidophilus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
