Welchol and Bumetanide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Welchol (colesevelam hydrochloride) and Bumetanide (bumetanide). Common drug interactions include small intestinal obstruction among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Welchol and Bumetanide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Welchol?
Welchol has active ingredients of colesevelam hydrochloride. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 11,309 Welchol users. Check the latest studies of Welchol.
What is Bumetanide?
Bumetanide has active ingredients of bumetanide. It is often used in fluid retention. eHealthMe is studying from 20,532 Bumetanide users. Check the latest studies of Bumetanide.
57 people who take Welchol and Bumetanide together, and have interactions are studied.
