Lanoxin and Xigris drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lanoxin (digoxin) and Xigris (drotrecogin alfa (activated)). Common drug interactions include activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged among females and activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lanoxin and Xigris. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 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 digoxin and drotrecogin alfa (activated) (the active ingredients of Lanoxin and Xigris, respectively), and Lanoxin and Xigris (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.
How to use the study?
