Celexa and Ranexa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Celexa (citalopram hydrobromide) and Ranexa (ranolazine). Common drug interactions include thrombocytosis among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Celexa and Ranexa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 84 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Celexa?
Celexa has active ingredients of citalopram hydrobromide. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 56,390 Celexa users. Check the latest studies of Celexa.
What is Ranexa?
Ranexa has active ingredients of ranolazine. It is often used in angina. eHealthMe is studying from 11,758 Ranexa users. Check the latest studies of Ranexa.
84 people who take Celexa and Ranexa together, and have interactions are studied.
