Pulmicort and Dexedrine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pulmicort (budesonide) and Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine sulfate). Common drug interactions include amnesia among females and cataract among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pulmicort and Dexedrine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
