Celexa and Sotret drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Celexa (citalopram hydrobromide) and Sotret (isotretinoin). Common drug interactions include crohn's disease among females and platelet count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Celexa and Sotret. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
