Citalopram hydrobromide and Vimpat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Citalopram hydrobromide (citalopram hydrobromide) and Vimpat (lacosamide). Common drug interactions include completed suicide among females and convulsion among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Citalopram hydrobromide and Vimpat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 56 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
