Banzel and Ativan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Banzel (rufinamide) and Ativan (lorazepam). Common drug interactions include seizure among females and seizure among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Banzel and Ativan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
