Decitabine and Zantac drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Decitabine (decitabine) and Zantac (ranitidine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include white blood cell count decreased among females and hyperbilirubinaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Decitabine and Zantac. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
