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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) and Procardia (nifedipine). Common drug interactions include abscess jaw among females.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Peridex and Procardia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
