Strattera and Mestinon drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Strattera (atomoxetine hydrochloride) and Mestinon (pyridostigmine bromide). Common drug interactions include gastroenteritis viral among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Strattera and Mestinon. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
