Zonegran and Clonidine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zonegran (zonisamide) and Clonidine (clonidine). Common drug interactions include adrenal insufficiency among females and headache among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zonegran and Clonidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 61 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
