Zonisamide and Leflunomide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zonisamide (zonisamide) and Leflunomide (leflunomide). Common drug interactions include lymphocyte count decreased among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zonisamide and Leflunomide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 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 Leflunomide?
Leflunomide has active ingredients of leflunomide. It is often used in rheumatoid arthritis. eHealthMe is studying from 82,105 Leflunomide users. Check the latest studies of Leflunomide.
30 people who take Zonisamide and Leflunomide together, and have interactions are studied.
