Bi-sifrol and Permax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Bi-sifrol (pramipexole) and Permax (pergolide mesylate). Common drug interactions include road traffic accident among females and abnormal behaviour among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Bi-sifrol and Permax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
