Phenergan and Kadian drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride) and Kadian (morphine sulfate). Common drug interactions include neuritis among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Phenergan and Kadian. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
