Focalin and Lantus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Focalin (dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride) and Lantus (insulin glargine recombinant). Common drug interactions include muscle spasms among females and ill-defined disorder among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Focalin and Lantus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
