Lamictal and Fiorinal drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lamictal (lamotrigine) and Fiorinal (aspirin; butalbital; caffeine). Common drug interactions include nasopharyngitis among females and flank pain among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lamictal and Fiorinal. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
