Plegridy and Provigil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Plegridy (peginterferon beta-1a) and Provigil (modafinil). Common drug interactions include skin warm among females and deafness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Plegridy and Provigil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 68 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
