Lamotrigine and Symmetrel drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lamotrigine (lamotrigine) and Symmetrel (amantadine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include seizure among females and pneumonia aspiration among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lamotrigine and Symmetrel. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Lamotrigine has active ingredients of lamotrigine. It is often used in bipolar disorder. eHealthMe is studying from 76,638 Lamotrigine users. Check the latest studies of Lamotrigine.
What is Symmetrel?
Symmetrel has active ingredients of amantadine hydrochloride. It is often used in parkinson's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 3,398 Symmetrel users. Check the latest studies of Symmetrel.
11 people who take Lamotrigine and Symmetrel together, and have interactions are studied.
