Slow-k and Desyrel drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Slow-k (potassium chloride) and Desyrel (trazodone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include application site pruritus among females and rhabdomyolysis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Slow-k and Desyrel. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Slow-k?
Slow-k has active ingredients of potassium chloride. It is often used in hypokalemia. eHealthMe is studying from 3,683 Slow-k users. Check the latest studies of Slow-k.
What is Desyrel?
Desyrel has active ingredients of trazodone hydrochloride. It is often used in insomnia. eHealthMe is studying from 6,595 Desyrel users. Check the latest studies of Desyrel.
16 people who take Slow-k and Desyrel together, and have interactions are studied.
