Enbrel and Gemcitabine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Enbrel (etanercept) and Gemcitabine (gemcitabine). Common drug interactions include hepatotoxicity among females and thrombocytopenia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Enbrel and Gemcitabine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on etanercept and gemcitabine (the active ingredients of Enbrel and Gemcitabine, respectively), and Enbrel and Gemcitabine (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.

How to use the study?
