Movicol and Colistimethate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Movicol (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Colistimethate (colistimethate sodium). Common drug interactions include breast cancer among females and rash maculo-papular among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Movicol and Colistimethate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35 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.
What is Colistimethate?
Colistimethate has active ingredients of colistimethate sodium. eHealthMe is studying from 1,502 Colistimethate users. Check the latest studies of Colistimethate.
35 people who take Movicol and Colistimethate together, and have interactions are studied.
