Lialda and Keppra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lialda (mesalamine) and Keppra (levetiracetam). Common drug interactions include pulmonary oedema among females and upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lialda and Keppra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Lialda?
Lialda has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 10,199 Lialda users. Check the latest studies of Lialda.
