Amitiza and Mircera drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Amitiza (lubiprostone) and Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta). Common drug interactions include abdominal distension among females and cardiac failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Amitiza and Mircera. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Amitiza?
Amitiza has active ingredients of lubiprostone. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 10,567 Amitiza users. Check the latest studies of Amitiza.
What is Mircera?
Mircera has active ingredients of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta. eHealthMe is studying from 10,321 Mircera users. Check the latest studies of Mircera.
17 people who take Amitiza and Mircera together, and have interactions are studied.
