Hydroxyurea and Carboplatin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hydroxyurea (hydroxyurea) and Carboplatin (carboplatin). Common drug interactions include anaemia among females and pancytopenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hydroxyurea and Carboplatin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Hydroxyurea?
Hydroxyurea has active ingredients of hydroxyurea. It is often used in polycythemia vera. eHealthMe is studying from 17,240 Hydroxyurea users. Check the latest studies of Hydroxyurea.
What is Carboplatin?
Carboplatin has active ingredients of carboplatin. It is often used in cancer. eHealthMe is studying from 128,210 Carboplatin users. Check the latest studies of Carboplatin.
31 people who take Hydroxyurea and Carboplatin 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 Hydroxyurea and Carboplatin, respectively), and Hydroxyurea and Carboplatin (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.
