Lithium carbonate and Suboxone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lithium carbonate (lithium carbonate) and Suboxone (buprenorphine hydrochloride; naloxone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include injury among females and tremor among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lithium carbonate and Suboxone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Lithium carbonate?
Lithium carbonate has active ingredients of lithium carbonate. It is often used in bipolar disorder. eHealthMe is studying from 25,651 Lithium carbonate users. Check the latest studies of Lithium carbonate.
What is Suboxone?
Suboxone has active ingredients of buprenorphine hydrochloride; naloxone hydrochloride. It is often used in opiate withdrawal. eHealthMe is studying from 31,249 Suboxone users. Check the latest studies of Suboxone.
44 people who take Lithium carbonate and Suboxone together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on lithium carbonate and buprenorphine hydrochloride; naloxone hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Lithium carbonate and Suboxone, respectively), and Lithium carbonate and Suboxone (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
