Unisom and Potassium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Unisom (doxylamine succinate) and Potassium (potassium). Common drug interactions include memory impairment among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Unisom and Potassium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Unisom?
Unisom has active ingredients of doxylamine succinate. It is often used in insomnia. eHealthMe is studying from 3,875 Unisom users. Check the latest studies of Unisom.
What is Potassium?
Potassium has active ingredients of potassium. It is often used in hypokalemia. eHealthMe is studying from 59,147 Potassium users. Check the latest studies of Potassium.
25 people who take Unisom and Potassium together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on doxylamine succinate and potassium (the active ingredients of Unisom and Potassium, respectively), and Unisom and Potassium (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.
How to use the study?
