Promethazine and Combigan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Promethazine (promethazine hydrochloride) and Combigan (brimonidine tartrate; timolol maleate). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Promethazine and Combigan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 43 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
