Dexamethasone and Omniscan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dexamethasone (dexamethasone) and Omniscan (gadodiamide). Common drug interactions include fluid retention among females and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dexamethasone and Omniscan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone has active ingredients of dexamethasone. It is often used in multiple myeloma. eHealthMe is studying from 161,927 Dexamethasone users. Check the latest studies of Dexamethasone.
What is Omniscan?
Omniscan has active ingredients of gadodiamide. eHealthMe is studying from 6,169 Omniscan users. Check the latest studies of Omniscan.
57 people who take Dexamethasone and Omniscan 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 gadodiamide (the active ingredients of Dexamethasone and Omniscan, respectively), and Dexamethasone and Omniscan (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.
