Gilenya and Methotrexate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gilenya (fingolimod) and Methotrexate (methotrexate sodium). Common drug interactions include hepatic enzyme increased among females and hand-foot-and-mouth disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gilenya and Methotrexate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 103 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
