Promethazine and Bifidobacterium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Promethazine (promethazine hydrochloride) and Bifidobacterium (bifidobacteria). Common drug interactions include neutrophil count decreased among females and cardiac failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Promethazine and Bifidobacterium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 66 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 Bifidobacterium?
Bifidobacterium has active ingredients of bifidobacteria. eHealthMe is studying from 5,013 Bifidobacterium users. Check the latest studies of Bifidobacterium.
66 people who take Promethazine and Bifidobacterium together, and have interactions are studied.
