Xenazine and Sinemet drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Xenazine (tetrabenazine) and Sinemet (carbidopa; levodopa). Common drug interactions include dyskinesia among females and ballismus among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Xenazine and Sinemet. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
