Lexapro and Singulair drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) and Singulair (montelukast sodium). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lexapro and Singulair. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 3,610 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
