Escitalopram and Tarka drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Escitalopram (escitalopram oxalate) and Tarka (trandolapril; verapamil hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include wound haemorrhage among females and dyspnoea among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Escitalopram and Tarka. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
