Decadron and Ranexa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Decadron (dexamethasone) and Ranexa (ranolazine). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and cough among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Decadron and Ranexa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

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 Ranexa?
Ranexa has active ingredients of ranolazine. It is often used in angina. eHealthMe is studying from 11,758 Ranexa users. Check the latest studies of Ranexa.
19 people who take Decadron and Ranexa together, and have interactions are studied.
