Potassium iodide and Aldactone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Potassium iodide (potassium iodide) and Aldactone (spironolactone). Common drug interactions include hypoalbuminaemia among females and abdominal pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Potassium iodide and Aldactone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Potassium iodide?
Potassium iodide has active ingredients of potassium iodide. It is often used in thyroid diseases. eHealthMe is studying from 1,919 Potassium iodide users. Check the latest studies of Potassium iodide.
What is Aldactone?
Aldactone has active ingredients of spironolactone. It is often used in acne. eHealthMe is studying from 46,063 Aldactone users. Check the latest studies of Aldactone.
17 people who take Potassium iodide and Aldactone together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on potassium iodide and spironolactone (the active ingredients of Potassium iodide and Aldactone, respectively), and Potassium iodide and Aldactone (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.
