L-methylfolate and Modafinil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take L-methylfolate (folic acid) and Modafinil (modafinil). Common drug interactions include anxiety among females and diarrhoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take L-methylfolate and Modafinil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
