Tenex and Lamotrigine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tenex (guanfacine hydrochloride) and Lamotrigine (lamotrigine). Common drug interactions include burning sensation among females and tic among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tenex and Lamotrigine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Tenex?
Tenex has active ingredients of guanfacine hydrochloride. It is often used in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. eHealthMe is studying from 1,865 Tenex users. Check the latest studies of Tenex.
What is Lamotrigine?
Lamotrigine has active ingredients of lamotrigine. It is often used in bipolar disorder. eHealthMe is studying from 76,638 Lamotrigine users. Check the latest studies of Lamotrigine.
18 people who take Tenex and Lamotrigine together, and have interactions are studied.
