Phenergan and Folate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride) and Folate (folic acid). Common drug interactions include clostridium difficile colitis among females and anhedonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Phenergan and Folate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
