Alkeran and Phenergan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Alkeran (melphalan) and Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include renal failure among females and agranulocytosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Alkeran and Phenergan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 36 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Alkeran?
Alkeran has active ingredients of melphalan. eHealthMe is studying from 5,429 Alkeran users. Check the latest studies of Alkeran.
What is Phenergan?
Phenergan has active ingredients of promethazine hydrochloride. It is often used in nausea. eHealthMe is studying from 25,312 Phenergan users. Check the latest studies of Phenergan.
36 people who take Alkeran and Phenergan together, and have interactions are studied.
