Platinol and Benadryl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Platinol (cisplatin) and Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include flushing among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Platinol and Benadryl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 45 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
