Accutane and Pradaxa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Accutane (isotretinoin) and Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and inflammatory bowel disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Accutane and Pradaxa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Accutane?
Accutane has active ingredients of isotretinoin. It is often used in acne. eHealthMe is studying from 35,221 Accutane users. Check the latest studies of Accutane.
What is Pradaxa?
Pradaxa has active ingredients of dabigatran etexilate mesylate. It is often used in atrial fibrillation/flutter. eHealthMe is studying from 86,906 Pradaxa users. Check the latest studies of Pradaxa.
20 people who take Accutane and Pradaxa together, and have interactions are studied.
