Can The Combined Effect Of Novigil And Penicillin Cause Any Dangerous Side Effect?
SJS rash leads to serious large pressure wound infection that is being treated at hospital wound center. Patient in treatment over three months and healing slowly. Patient was taking Novigil labeled for rash side effect and has pencillin allergy too. Are these related factors?

Novigil is not related to penicillin. As such there isn't much of a relationship. Wound healing is complex. There can be local infection wtih bacteria or yeast and the yeast grows more if the bacteria are killed off.
