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