Movicol and Modafinil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Movicol (polyethylene glycol 3350) and Modafinil (modafinil). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Movicol and Modafinil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
