Azilect and Ambien drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Azilect (rasagiline mesylate) and Ambien (zolpidem tartrate). Common drug interactions include hyperparathyroidism secondary among females and pathological gambling among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Azilect and Ambien. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Azilect?
Azilect has active ingredients of rasagiline mesylate. It is often used in parkinson's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 8,622 Azilect users. Check the latest studies of Azilect.
