Fludara and Gemzar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fludara (fludarabine phosphate) and Gemzar (gemcitabine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include acute myeloid leukaemia among females and hepatic cirrhosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fludara and Gemzar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 43 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 fludarabine phosphate and gemcitabine hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Fludara and Gemzar, respectively), and Fludara and Gemzar (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.
