Lamotrigine and Aricept drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lamotrigine (lamotrigine) and Aricept (donepezil hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include headache among females and somnolence among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lamotrigine and Aricept. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 97 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
