A-hydrocort and Methotrexate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take A-hydrocort (hydrocortisone sodium succinate) and Methotrexate (methotrexate sodium). Common drug interactions include headache among females and alopecia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take A-hydrocort and Methotrexate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on hydrocortisone sodium succinate and methotrexate sodium (the active ingredients of A-hydrocort and Methotrexate, respectively), and A-hydrocort and Methotrexate (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
