Slow-k and Codeine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Slow-k (potassium chloride) and Codeine (codeine sulfate). Common drug interactions include nausea among females and tachycardia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Slow-k and Codeine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
