Ambien cr and Pregabalin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ambien cr (zolpidem tartrate) and Pregabalin (pregabalin). Common drug interactions include alopecia among females and seizure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ambien cr and Pregabalin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
