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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride) and Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide). Common drug interactions include basal cell carcinoma among females and bronchitis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ritalin and Kenalog. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
