Arimidex and Hydrea drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Arimidex (anastrozole) and Hydrea (hydroxyurea). Common drug interactions include acute myeloid leukaemia among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Arimidex and Hydrea. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Arimidex?
Arimidex has active ingredients of anastrozole. It is often used in breast cancer. eHealthMe is studying from 22,642 Arimidex users. Check the latest studies of Arimidex.
What is Hydrea?
Hydrea has active ingredients of hydroxyurea. It is often used in polycythemia vera. eHealthMe is studying from 9,083 Hydrea users. Check the latest studies of Hydrea.
15 people who take Arimidex and Hydrea together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on anastrozole and hydroxyurea (the active ingredients of Arimidex and Hydrea, respectively), and Arimidex and Hydrea (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
