Vyvanse and Folate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) and Folate (folic acid). Common drug interactions include hepatic neoplasm among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vyvanse and Folate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 66 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
