Provigil and Actemra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Provigil (modafinil) and Actemra (tocilizumab). Common drug interactions include tendon rupture among females and gastroenteritis viral among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Provigil and Actemra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 33 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
