Dilantin and Relpax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dilantin (phenytoin sodium) and Relpax (eletriptan hydrobromide). Common drug interactions include intervertebral disc protrusion among females and blood iron decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dilantin and Relpax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Dilantin?
Dilantin has active ingredients of phenytoin sodium. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 20,858 Dilantin users. Check the latest studies of Dilantin.
What is Relpax?
Relpax has active ingredients of eletriptan hydrobromide. It is often used in migraine. eHealthMe is studying from 9,259 Relpax users. Check the latest studies of Relpax.
12 people who take Dilantin and Relpax together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on phenytoin sodium and eletriptan hydrobromide (the active ingredients of Dilantin and Relpax, respectively), and Dilantin and Relpax (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
