Fosamax and Lacosamide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fosamax (alendronate sodium) and Lacosamide (lacosamide). Common drug interactions include fall among females and constipation among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fosamax and Lacosamide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Fosamax?
Fosamax has active ingredients of alendronate sodium. It is often used in osteoporosis. eHealthMe is studying from 105,452 Fosamax users. Check the latest studies of Fosamax.
What is Lacosamide?
Lacosamide has active ingredients of lacosamide. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 16,601 Lacosamide users. Check the latest studies of Lacosamide.
17 people who take Fosamax and Lacosamide together, and have interactions are studied.
