Pacerone and Benadryl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pacerone (amiodarone hydrochloride) and Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include sudden death among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pacerone and Benadryl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pacerone?
Pacerone has active ingredients of amiodarone hydrochloride. It is often used in atrial fibrillation/flutter. eHealthMe is studying from 2,814 Pacerone users. Check the latest studies of Pacerone.
What is Benadryl?
Benadryl has active ingredients of diphenhydramine hydrochloride. It is often used in allergies. eHealthMe is studying from 104,954 Benadryl users. Check the latest studies of Benadryl.
41 people who take Pacerone and Benadryl together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on amiodarone hydrochloride and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Pacerone and Benadryl, respectively), and Pacerone and Benadryl (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
