Lexapro and L-glutamine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) and L-glutamine (glutamine). Common drug interactions include bone disorder among females and cough among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lexapro and L-glutamine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 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 L-glutamine?
L-glutamine has active ingredients of glutamine. eHealthMe is studying from 779 L-glutamine users. Check the latest studies of L-glutamine.
15 people who take Lexapro and L-glutamine 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 glutamine (the active ingredients of Lexapro and L-glutamine, respectively), and Lexapro and L-glutamine (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.
How to use the study?
