Cimetidine and Escitalopram oxalate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cimetidine (cimetidine) and Escitalopram oxalate (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include myalgia among females and alcohol poisoning among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cimetidine and Escitalopram oxalate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
