Enbrel and Amevive drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Enbrel (etanercept) and Amevive (alefacept). Common drug interactions include acne among females and gastric polyps among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Enbrel and Amevive. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 88 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
