Ambien cr and Amrix drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ambien cr (zolpidem tartrate) and Amrix (cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include raynaud's phenomenon among females and epilepsy among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ambien cr and Amrix. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
