Lexapro and Gentamicin sulfate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) and Gentamicin sulfate (gentamicin sulfate). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lexapro and Gentamicin sulfate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Lexapro?
Lexapro has active ingredients of escitalopram oxalate. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 91,464 Lexapro users. Check the latest studies of Lexapro.
What is Gentamicin sulfate?
Gentamicin sulfate has active ingredients of gentamicin sulfate. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 3,942 Gentamicin sulfate users. Check the latest studies of Gentamicin sulfate.
19 people who take Lexapro and Gentamicin sulfate 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 gentamicin sulfate (the active ingredients of Lexapro and Gentamicin sulfate, respectively), and Lexapro and Gentamicin sulfate (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.
