Valchlor and Lexapro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valchlor (mechlorethamine hydrochloride) and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate). Common drug interactions include emphysema among females and application site discolouration among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valchlor and Lexapro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
