Zyrtec and Lactase drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zyrtec (cetirizine hydrochloride) and Lactase (lactase). Common drug interactions include hypothyroidism among females and diarrhoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zyrtec and Lactase. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 70 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
