Peridex and Glycolax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) and Glycolax (polyethylene glycol 3350). Common drug interactions include haemochromatosis among females and abdominal pain among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Peridex and Glycolax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on chlorhexidine gluconate and polyethylene glycol 3350 (the active ingredients of Peridex and Glycolax, respectively), and Peridex and Glycolax (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.

How to use the study?
