Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Isentress (raltegravir potassium) and Vimpat (lacosamide). Common drug interactions include atrioventricular block among females and drug level increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Isentress and Vimpat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
