Movicol and Dimeticone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Movicol (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Dimeticone (simethicone). Common drug interactions include white blood cell count decreased among females and diarrhoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Movicol and Dimeticone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
