Hycamtin and Fentanyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hycamtin (topotecan hydrochloride) and Fentanyl (fentanyl citrate). Common drug interactions include depressed level of consciousness among females and neutrophil count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hycamtin and Fentanyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on topotecan hydrochloride and fentanyl citrate (the active ingredients of Hycamtin and Fentanyl, respectively), and Hycamtin and Fentanyl (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.
