Methotrexate and Akineton drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Methotrexate (methotrexate sodium) and Akineton (biperiden hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include decreased appetite among females and convulsion among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Methotrexate and Akineton. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
