Mesalamine and Keppra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Mesalamine (mesalamine) and Keppra (levetiracetam). Common drug interactions include weight decreased among females and upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Mesalamine and Keppra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Mesalamine?
Mesalamine has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 28,053 Mesalamine users. Check the latest studies of Mesalamine.
What is Keppra?
Keppra has active ingredients of levetiracetam. It is often used in epilepsy. eHealthMe is studying from 73,504 Keppra users. Check the latest studies of Keppra.
30 people who take Mesalamine and Keppra together, and have interactions are studied.
