Hydrea and Paraplatin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hydrea (hydroxyurea) and Paraplatin (carboplatin). Common drug interactions include alopecia among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hydrea and Paraplatin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Hydrea?
Hydrea has active ingredients of hydroxyurea. It is often used in polycythemia vera. eHealthMe is studying from 9,083 Hydrea users. Check the latest studies of Hydrea.
What is Paraplatin?
Paraplatin has active ingredients of carboplatin. eHealthMe is studying from 12,392 Paraplatin users. Check the latest studies of Paraplatin.
14 people who take Hydrea and Paraplatin together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on hydroxyurea and carboplatin (the active ingredients of Hydrea and Paraplatin, respectively), and Hydrea and Paraplatin (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.
