Dexedrine and Cannabis drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine sulfate) and Cannabis (marijuana). Common drug interactions include fatigue among females and hereditary angioedema among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dexedrine and Cannabis. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 21 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
