Decadron and Amino acids drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Decadron (dexamethasone) and Amino acids (amino acids). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal necrosis among females and platelet count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Decadron and Amino acids. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Decadron?
Decadron has active ingredients of dexamethasone. It is often used in multiple myeloma. eHealthMe is studying from 47,210 Decadron users. Check the latest studies of Decadron.
What is Amino acids?
Amino acids has active ingredients of amino acids. eHealthMe is studying from 2,578 Amino acids users. Check the latest studies of Amino acids.
30 people who take Decadron and Amino acids together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on dexamethasone and amino acids (the active ingredients of Decadron and Amino acids, respectively), and Decadron and Amino acids (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.
How to use the study?
