Lorazepam and Nyquil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lorazepam (lorazepam) and Nyquil (acetaminophen / dextromethorphan / doxylamine / pseudoephedrine). Common drug interactions include blood pressure decreased among females and asthenia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lorazepam and Nyquil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 78 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
