Keppra and Rabeprazole drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Keppra (levetiracetam) and Rabeprazole (rabeprazole sodium). Common drug interactions include amnesia among females and pyrexia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Keppra and Rabeprazole. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 87 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
