Escitalopram and Folvite drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Escitalopram (escitalopram oxalate) and Folvite (folic acid). Common drug interactions include arrhythmia among females and hepatic enzyme increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Escitalopram and Folvite. 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 Escitalopram?
Escitalopram has active ingredients of escitalopram oxalate. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 78,081 Escitalopram users. Check the latest studies of Escitalopram.
What is Folvite?
Folvite has active ingredients of folic acid. eHealthMe is studying from 2,529 Folvite users. Check the latest studies of Folvite.
18 people who take Escitalopram and Folvite 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 folic acid (the active ingredients of Escitalopram and Folvite, respectively), and Escitalopram and Folvite (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?
