Nexium and Dimeticone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) and Dimeticone (simethicone). Common drug interactions include hypovitaminosis among females and chronic kidney disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nexium and Dimeticone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 29 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 245,678 Nexium users. Check the latest studies of Nexium.

What is Dimeticone?

Dimeticone has active ingredients of simethicone. eHealthMe is studying from 764 Dimeticone users. Check the latest studies of Dimeticone.
