Promethazine and Accutane drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Promethazine (promethazine hydrochloride) and Accutane (isotretinoin). Common drug interactions include crohn's disease among females and gastrooesophageal reflux disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Promethazine and Accutane. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Promethazine?
Promethazine has active ingredients of promethazine hydrochloride. It is often used in nausea. eHealthMe is studying from 32,300 Promethazine users. Check the latest studies of Promethazine.
What is Accutane?
Accutane has active ingredients of isotretinoin. It is often used in acne. eHealthMe is studying from 35,221 Accutane users. Check the latest studies of Accutane.
14 people who take Promethazine and Accutane together, and have interactions are studied.
