Ranexa and Vimpat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Ranexa (ranolazine) and Vimpat (lacosamide). Common drug interactions include hereditary angioedema among females and urinary tract infection among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Ranexa and Vimpat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 51 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
