Clozaril and Aricept drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Clozaril (clozapine) and Aricept (donepezil hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and haemoglobin decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Clozaril and Aricept. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 70 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Clozaril?
Clozaril has active ingredients of clozapine. It is often used in schizophrenia. eHealthMe is studying from 65,127 Clozaril users. Check the latest studies of Clozaril.
What is Aricept?
Aricept has active ingredients of donepezil hydrochloride. It is often used in alzheimer's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 24,756 Aricept users. Check the latest studies of Aricept.
70 people who take Clozaril and Aricept together, and have interactions are studied.
