Ambien cr and Requip drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ambien cr (zolpidem tartrate) and Requip (ropinirole hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include protein urine among females and amnesia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ambien cr and Requip. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 78 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
