Duphalac and Duragesic-100 drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Duphalac (lactulose) and Duragesic-100 (fentanyl). Common drug interactions include thrombocytopenia among females and diarrhoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Duphalac and Duragesic-100. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 81 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
