Biktarvy and Phenergan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Biktarvy (bictegravir sodium; emtricitabine; tenofovir alafenamide fumarate) and Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include anxiety among females and emotional distress among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Biktarvy and Phenergan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
