Alkeran and Synthroid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Alkeran (melphalan) and Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium). Common drug interactions include bone disorder among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Alkeran and Synthroid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 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 Synthroid?
Synthroid has active ingredients of levothyroxine sodium. It is often used in hypothyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 249,198 Synthroid users. Check the latest studies of Synthroid.
32 people who take Alkeran and Synthroid together, and have interactions are studied.
