Nicotine and Valproic acid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nicotine (nicotine) and Valproic acid (valproic acid). Common drug interactions include white blood cell count decreased among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nicotine and Valproic acid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Nicotine?
Nicotine has active ingredients of nicotine. It is often used in quit smoking. eHealthMe is studying from 20,443 Nicotine users. Check the latest studies of Nicotine.
What is Valproic acid?
Valproic acid has active ingredients of valproic acid. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 36,193 Valproic acid users. Check the latest studies of Valproic acid.
77 people who take Nicotine and Valproic acid together, and have interactions are studied.
