Nuedexta and Provigil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nuedexta (dextromethorphan hydrobromide; quinidine sulfate) and Provigil (modafinil). Common drug interactions include ill-defined disorder among females and asthma among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nuedexta and Provigil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 73 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
