Erbitux and Altace drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Erbitux (cetuximab) and Altace (ramipril). Common drug interactions include malignant neoplasm progression among females and malignant neoplasm progression among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Erbitux and Altace. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Erbitux?
