Escitalopram and Epclusa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Escitalopram (escitalopram oxalate) and Epclusa (sofosbuvir; velpatasvir). Common drug interactions include vomiting among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Escitalopram and Epclusa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
