Nexium and Correctol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) and Correctol (bisacodyl). Common drug interactions include anaemia among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nexium and Correctol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Nexium?
Nexium has active ingredients of esomeprazole magnesium. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 245,677 Nexium users. Check the latest studies of Nexium.
What is Correctol?
Correctol has active ingredients of bisacodyl. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 152 Correctol users. Check the latest studies of Correctol.
13 people who take Nexium and Correctol together, and have interactions are studied.
