Slow-k and Prilosec drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Slow-k (potassium chloride) and Prilosec (omeprazole). Common drug interactions include palpitations among females and cardiac failure congestive among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Slow-k and Prilosec. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 45 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 Prilosec?
Prilosec has active ingredients of omeprazole. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 175,286 Prilosec users. Check the latest studies of Prilosec.
45 people who take Slow-k and Prilosec together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on potassium chloride and omeprazole (the active ingredients of Slow-k and Prilosec, respectively), and Slow-k and Prilosec (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
