Arimidex and Methotrexate sodium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Arimidex (anastrozole) and Methotrexate sodium (methotrexate sodium). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Arimidex and Methotrexate sodium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on anastrozole and methotrexate sodium (the active ingredients of Arimidex and Methotrexate sodium, respectively), and Arimidex and Methotrexate sodium (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.
