Escitalopram oxalate and Questran drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Escitalopram oxalate (escitalopram oxalate) and Questran (cholestyramine). Common drug interactions include swelling face among females and cardiac failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Escitalopram oxalate and Questran. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
