Nexavar and Lexapro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nexavar (sorafenib tosylate) and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include pleural effusion among females and rash among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nexavar and Lexapro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 82 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
