Hydroxyurea and Pioglitazone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hydroxyurea (hydroxyurea) and Pioglitazone (pioglitazone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include aortic thrombosis among females and subdural haematoma among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hydroxyurea and Pioglitazone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on hydroxyurea and pioglitazone hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Hydroxyurea and Pioglitazone, respectively), and Hydroxyurea and Pioglitazone (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.
