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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Divalproex (divalproex sodium) and Cannabis (marijuana). Common drug interactions include blood pressure decreased among females and hyperhidrosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Divalproex and Cannabis. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
