Copegus and Morphine sulfate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Copegus (ribavirin) and Morphine sulfate (morphine sulfate). Common drug interactions include myelodysplastic syndrome among females and rash among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Copegus and Morphine sulfate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Copegus?
Copegus has active ingredients of ribavirin. It is often used in hepatitis c. eHealthMe is studying from 15,115 Copegus users. Check the latest studies of Copegus.
What is Morphine sulfate?
Morphine sulfate has active ingredients of morphine sulfate. It is often used in pain. eHealthMe is studying from 87,261 Morphine sulfate users. Check the latest studies of Morphine sulfate.
27 people who take Copegus and Morphine sulfate together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on ribavirin and morphine sulfate (the active ingredients of Copegus and Morphine sulfate, respectively), and Copegus and Morphine sulfate (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
