Topamax and Foradil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Topamax (topiramate) and Foradil (formoterol fumarate). Common drug interactions include localised oedema among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Topamax and Foradil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Topamax?
Topamax has active ingredients of topiramate. It is often used in migraine. eHealthMe is studying from 58,954 Topamax users. Check the latest studies of Topamax.
What is Foradil?
Foradil has active ingredients of formoterol fumarate. It is often used in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. eHealthMe is studying from 5,956 Foradil users. Check the latest studies of Foradil.
53 people who take Topamax and Foradil together, and have interactions are studied.
