Pimozide and Aripiprazole drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pimozide (pimozide) and Aripiprazole (aripiprazole). Common drug interactions include hypersexuality among females and weight increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pimozide and Aripiprazole. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 93 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
