Ranitidine and Lotronex drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ranitidine (ranitidine) and Lotronex (alosetron hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include back pain among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ranitidine and Lotronex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Ranitidine?
Ranitidine has active ingredients of ranitidine. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 234,475 Ranitidine users. Check the latest studies of Ranitidine.
What is Lotronex?
Lotronex has active ingredients of alosetron hydrochloride. It is often used in irritable bowel syndrome. eHealthMe is studying from 6,841 Lotronex users. Check the latest studies of Lotronex.
15 people who take Ranitidine and Lotronex together, and have interactions are studied.
