Erbitux and Lovenox drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Erbitux (cetuximab) and Lovenox (enoxaparin sodium). Common drug interactions include malignant neoplasm progression among females and arthralgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Erbitux and Lovenox. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 92 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
