Flexeril and Unisom drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride) and Unisom (doxylamine succinate). Common drug interactions include dyspepsia among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flexeril and Unisom. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
