Zyban and Diphen drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zyban (bupropion hydrochloride) and Diphen (diphenhydramine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dermatitis among females and suicide attempt among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zyban and Diphen. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
