Lamotrigine and Macrobid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lamotrigine (lamotrigine) and Macrobid (nitrofurantoin; nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline). Common drug interactions include disturbance in attention among females and cardiac disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lamotrigine and Macrobid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
