Escitalopram and Brimonidine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Escitalopram (escitalopram oxalate) and Brimonidine (brimonidine). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and dysphagia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Escitalopram and Brimonidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
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.
What is Brimonidine?
Brimonidine has active ingredients of brimonidine. It is often used in glaucoma. eHealthMe is studying from 6,276 Brimonidine users. Check the latest studies of Brimonidine.
40 people who take Escitalopram and Brimonidine together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on escitalopram oxalate and brimonidine (the active ingredients of Escitalopram and Brimonidine, respectively), and Escitalopram and Brimonidine (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
