Tysabri and Methylin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tysabri (natalizumab) and Methylin (methylphenidate hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include blood pressure increased among females and encephalitis viral among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tysabri and Methylin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
