Gablofen and Lexapro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gablofen (baclofen) and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include cerebrospinal fluid leakage among females and muscle spasms among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gablofen and Lexapro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
