Zonisamide and Lactulose drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zonisamide (zonisamide) and Lactulose (lactulose). Common drug interactions include anxiety among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zonisamide and Lactulose. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Zonisamide?
Zonisamide has active ingredients of zonisamide. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 11,445 Zonisamide users. Check the latest studies of Zonisamide.
What is Lactulose?
Lactulose has active ingredients of lactulose. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 46,960 Lactulose users. Check the latest studies of Lactulose.
44 people who take Zonisamide and Lactulose together, and have interactions are studied.
