Relistor and Nuvigil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Relistor (methylnaltrexone bromide) and Nuvigil (armodafinil). Common drug interactions include nausea among females and abdominal distension among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Relistor and Nuvigil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 63 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
