Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dexamethasone (dexamethasone) and Zepzelca (lurbinectedin). Common drug interactions include hypertransaminasaemia among females and catheter site related reaction among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dexamethasone and Zepzelca. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
