Arava and Tracleer drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Arava (leflunomide) and Tracleer (bosentan). Common drug interactions include sleep apnoea syndrome among females and haemorrhage intracranial among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Arava and Tracleer. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 45 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Arava?
Arava has active ingredients of leflunomide. It is often used in rheumatoid arthritis. eHealthMe is studying from 76,040 Arava users. Check the latest studies of Arava.
What is Tracleer?
Tracleer has active ingredients of bosentan. It is often used in primary pulmonary hypertension. eHealthMe is studying from 55,125 Tracleer users. Check the latest studies of Tracleer.
45 people who take Arava and Tracleer together, and have interactions are studied.
