Azasan and Dexamethasone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Azasan (azathioprine) and Dexamethasone (dexamethasone). Common drug interactions include blood calcium decreased among females and anaphylactic shock among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Azasan and Dexamethasone. 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 Azasan?
Azasan has active ingredients of azathioprine. eHealthMe is studying from 413 Azasan users. Check the latest studies of Azasan.
What is Dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone has active ingredients of dexamethasone. It is often used in multiple myeloma. eHealthMe is studying from 161,927 Dexamethasone users. Check the latest studies of Dexamethasone.
