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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lamictal (lamotrigine) and Vancomycin (vancomycin). Common drug interactions include sepsis among females and pneumonia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lamictal and Vancomycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
