Dacogen and Neulasta drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dacogen (decitabine) and Neulasta (pegfilgrastim). Common drug interactions include pyrexia among females and white blood cell count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dacogen and Neulasta. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Dacogen?
Dacogen has active ingredients of decitabine. eHealthMe is studying from 1,541 Dacogen users. Check the latest studies of Dacogen.
What is Neulasta?
Neulasta has active ingredients of pegfilgrastim. It is often used in agranulocytosis. eHealthMe is studying from 92,286 Neulasta users. Check the latest studies of Neulasta.
41 people who take Dacogen and Neulasta together, and have interactions are studied.
