Lexapro and Librax drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) and Librax (chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride; clidinium bromide). Common drug interactions include pneumonia staphylococcal among females and erythema among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lexapro and Librax. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 29 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
