Micafungin and Lexapro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Micafungin (micafungin sodium) and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include aspartate aminotransferase increased among females and respiratory failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Micafungin and Lexapro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 44 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on micafungin sodium and escitalopram oxalate (the active ingredients of Micafungin and Lexapro, respectively), and Micafungin and Lexapro (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?
