Imbruvica and Keytruda drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Imbruvica (ibrutinib) and Keytruda (pembrolizumab). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Imbruvica and Keytruda. 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 Imbruvica?
Imbruvica has active ingredients of ibrutinib. It is often used in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll). eHealthMe is studying from 70,020 Imbruvica users. Check the latest studies of Imbruvica.
What is Keytruda?
Keytruda has active ingredients of pembrolizumab. It is often used in renal cell carcinoma. eHealthMe is studying from 57,404 Keytruda users. Check the latest studies of Keytruda.
31 people who take Imbruvica and Keytruda together, and have interactions are studied.
