Cerezyme and Keppra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cerezyme (imiglucerase) and Keppra (levetiracetam). Common drug interactions include vocal cord disorder among females and convulsion among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cerezyme and Keppra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cerezyme?
Cerezyme has active ingredients of imiglucerase. eHealthMe is studying from 6,451 Cerezyme users. Check the latest studies of Cerezyme.
What is Keppra?
Keppra has active ingredients of levetiracetam. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 73,504 Keppra users. Check the latest studies of Keppra.
28 people who take Cerezyme and Keppra together, and have interactions are studied.
