Memantine and Paxlovid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Memantine (memantine) and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir; ritonavir). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and disease recurrence among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Memantine and Paxlovid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
