Proleukin and Benadryl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Proleukin (aldesleukin) and Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include hypokalaemia among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Proleukin and Benadryl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Proleukin?
Proleukin has active ingredients of aldesleukin. eHealthMe is studying from 1,865 Proleukin users. Check the latest studies of Proleukin.
What is Benadryl?
Benadryl has active ingredients of diphenhydramine hydrochloride. It is often used in allergies. eHealthMe is studying from 104,954 Benadryl users. Check the latest studies of Benadryl.
62 people who take Proleukin and Benadryl together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on aldesleukin and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Proleukin and Benadryl, respectively), and Proleukin and Benadryl (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.
