Gleevec and Evista drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) and Evista (raloxifene hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include infection among females and abnormal weight gain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gleevec and Evista. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 39 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
