Subutex and Atarax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Subutex (buprenorphine hydrochloride) and Atarax (hydroxyzine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include withdrawal syndrome among females and somnolence among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Subutex and Atarax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 61 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Subutex?
Subutex has active ingredients of buprenorphine hydrochloride. It is often used in opiate withdrawal. eHealthMe is studying from 8,763 Subutex users. Check the latest studies of Subutex.
What is Atarax?
Atarax has active ingredients of hydroxyzine hydrochloride. It is often used in stress and anxiety. eHealthMe is studying from 23,553 Atarax users. Check the latest studies of Atarax.
61 people who take Subutex and Atarax together, and have interactions are studied.
