Herceptin and Provera drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate). Common drug interactions include pleural effusion among females and angina unstable among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Herceptin and Provera. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
