Gabitril and Cogentin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gabitril (tiagabine hydrochloride) and Cogentin (benztropine mesylate). Common drug interactions include collapse of lung among females and convulsions among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gabitril and Cogentin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
