Benlysta and Phenergan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Benlysta (belimumab) and Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cartilage atrophy among females and altered state of consciousness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Benlysta and Phenergan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
