Unisom and Tylenol w/ codeine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Unisom (doxylamine succinate) and Tylenol w/ codeine (acetaminophen; codeine phosphate). Common drug interactions include drug exposure during pregnancy among females and coronary artery insufficiency among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Unisom and Tylenol w/ codeine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 21 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Unisom?

Unisom has active ingredients of doxylamine succinate. It is often used in insomnia. eHealthMe is studying from 3,875 Unisom users. Check the latest studies of Unisom.

What is Tylenol w/ codeine?

Tylenol w/ codeine has active ingredients of acetaminophen; codeine phosphate. It is often used in pain. eHealthMe is studying from 8,107 Tylenol w/ codeine users. Check the latest studies of Tylenol w/ codeine.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on doxylamine succinate and acetaminophen; codeine phosphate (the active ingredients of Unisom and Tylenol w/ codeine, respectively), and Unisom and Tylenol w/ codeine (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.

How to use the study?
