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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zonegran (zonisamide) and Vicodin (acetaminophen; hydrocodone bitartrate). Common drug interactions include chest pain among females and depression among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zonegran and Vicodin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 74 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
