Equanil and Folic acid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Equanil (meprobamate) and Folic acid (folic acid). Common drug interactions include aplasia pure red cell among females and pancreatitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Equanil and Folic acid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Equanil?
Equanil has active ingredients of meprobamate. It is often used in stress and anxiety. eHealthMe is studying from 1,244 Equanil users. Check the latest studies of Equanil.
What is Folic acid?
Folic acid has active ingredients of folic acid. It is often used in rheumatoid arthritis. eHealthMe is studying from 165,028 Folic acid users. Check the latest studies of Folic acid.
eHealthMe: drug outcomes in the real world
eHealthMe runs one of the largest post-marketing drug safety studies in the world. We study millions of patients and 5,000 more each day. Our data-driven phase IV clinical trials have been referenced on 800+ peer-reviewed medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature. Tools to study our phase IV findings are available to the public, anonymous and free >>>.
24 people who take Equanil and Folic acid together, and have interactions are studied.
