Kayexalate and Pomalyst drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) and Pomalyst (pomalidomide). Common drug interactions include platelet count decreased among females and bronchitis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Kayexalate and Pomalyst. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 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 sodium polystyrene sulfonate and pomalidomide (the active ingredients of Kayexalate and Pomalyst, respectively), and Kayexalate and Pomalyst (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.
