Keytruda and Pitavastatin calcium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and Pitavastatin calcium (pitavastatin calcium). Common drug interactions include duodenitis among females and malignant neoplasm progression among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Keytruda and Pitavastatin calcium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 72 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
