Marcaine and Lexapro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Marcaine (bupivacaine hydrochloride) and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include constipation among females and back pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Marcaine and Lexapro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 42 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
