Lemtrada and Cimetidine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lemtrada (alemtuzumab) and Cimetidine (cimetidine). Common drug interactions include pyrexia among females and abdominal pain upper among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lemtrada and Cimetidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
