Keytruda and Sitagliptin phosphate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and Sitagliptin phosphate (sitagliptin phosphate). Common drug interactions include thyroiditis among females and adrenal disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Keytruda and Sitagliptin phosphate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 19 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
