Effexor and Cytarabine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Effexor (venlafaxine hydrochloride) and Cytarabine (cytarabine). Common drug interactions include cardiac failure congestive among females and acute respiratory distress syndrome among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Effexor and Cytarabine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 36 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
