Excedrin and Mestinon drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Excedrin (acetaminophen; aspirin; caffeine) and Mestinon (pyridostigmine bromide). Common drug interactions include paraesthesia among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Excedrin and Mestinon. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
