Aricept and Mexitil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Aricept (donepezil hydrochloride) and Mexitil (mexiletine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include renal failure among females and anaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Aricept and Mexitil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
