Xalatan and Exidine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Xalatan (latanoprost) and Exidine (chlorhexidine gluconate). Common drug interactions include breast cancer among females and abdominal distension among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Xalatan and Exidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Exidine?
Exidine has active ingredients of chlorhexidine gluconate. eHealthMe is studying from 17,299 Exidine users. Check the latest studies of Exidine.
15 people who take Xalatan and Exidine together, and have interactions are studied.
