Duac and Lamictal drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Duac (benzoyl peroxide; clindamycin phosphate) and Lamictal (lamotrigine). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and confusional state among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Duac and Lamictal. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
