Aloxi and Keppra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Aloxi (palonosetron hydrochloride) and Keppra (levetiracetam). Common drug interactions include hypoaesthesia among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Aloxi and Keppra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 65 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
