Sinemet and Ms contin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sinemet (carbidopa; levodopa) and Ms contin (morphine sulfate). Common drug interactions include swelling among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sinemet and Ms contin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 45 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
