Potassium and Epidiolex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Potassium (potassium) and Epidiolex (cannabidiol). Common drug interactions include pyrexia among females and hospitalisation among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Potassium and Epidiolex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Potassium?
Potassium has active ingredients of potassium. It is often used in hypokalemia. eHealthMe is studying from 59,147 Potassium users. Check the latest studies of Potassium.
What is Epidiolex?
Epidiolex has active ingredients of cannabidiol. eHealthMe is studying from 18,763 Epidiolex users. Check the latest studies of Epidiolex.
49 people who take Potassium and Epidiolex together, and have interactions are studied.

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