Atarax and Peg-intron drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Atarax (hydroxyzine hydrochloride) and Peg-intron (peginterferon alfa-2b). Common drug interactions include purulent discharge among females and dysphagia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Atarax and Peg-intron. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
