Cytomel and Aranesp drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cytomel (liothyronine sodium) and Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa). Common drug interactions include retching among females and gait disturbance among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cytomel and Aranesp. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
