Cisplatin and Femara drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cisplatin (cisplatin) and Femara (letrozole). Common drug interactions include anxiety among females and exposed bone in jaw among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cisplatin and Femara. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 66 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cisplatin?
Cisplatin has active ingredients of cisplatin. It is often used in chemotherapy. eHealthMe is studying from 92,837 Cisplatin users. Check the latest studies of Cisplatin.
What is Femara?
Femara has active ingredients of letrozole. It is often used in breast cancer. eHealthMe is studying from 19,630 Femara users. Check the latest studies of Femara.
66 people who take Cisplatin and Femara together, and have interactions are studied.
