Pepcid ac and Lopid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pepcid ac (famotidine) and Lopid (gemfibrozil). Common drug interactions include balance disorder among females and acute myocardial infarction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pepcid ac and Lopid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pepcid ac?
Pepcid ac has active ingredients of famotidine. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 9,573 Pepcid ac users. Check the latest studies of Pepcid ac.
What is Lopid?
Lopid has active ingredients of gemfibrozil. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 9,700 Lopid users. Check the latest studies of Lopid.
11 people who take Pepcid ac and Lopid together, and have interactions are studied.
