Hydroxyurea and Lovaza drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hydroxyurea (hydroxyurea) and Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters). Common drug interactions include abortion induced among females and diarrhoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hydroxyurea and Lovaza. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 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 Lovaza?
Lovaza has active ingredients of omega-3-acid ethyl esters. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 17,340 Lovaza users. Check the latest studies of Lovaza.
17 people who take Hydroxyurea and Lovaza together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on hydroxyurea and omega-3-acid ethyl esters (the active ingredients of Hydroxyurea and Lovaza, respectively), and Hydroxyurea and Lovaza (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.
