Epitol and Escitalopram drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Epitol (carbamazepine) and Escitalopram (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and chills among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Epitol and Escitalopram. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Epitol?
Epitol has active ingredients of carbamazepine. It is often used in bipolar disorder. eHealthMe is studying from 397 Epitol users. Check the latest studies of Epitol.
What is Escitalopram?
Escitalopram has active ingredients of escitalopram oxalate. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 78,080 Escitalopram users. Check the latest studies of Escitalopram.
18 people who take Epitol and Escitalopram together, and have interactions are studied.
