Ritalin la and Calcium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ritalin la (methylphenidate hydrochloride) and Calcium (calcium). Common drug interactions include temporomandibular joint syndrome among females and adenoidal disorder among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ritalin la and Calcium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 37 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
