Azilect and Keppra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Azilect (rasagiline mesylate) and Keppra (levetiracetam). Common drug interactions include hyperphagia among females and blood pressure decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Azilect and Keppra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 43 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
