Leukeran and Thalidomide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Leukeran (chlorambucil) and Thalidomide (thalidomide). Common drug interactions include failure to thrive among females and enterococcal infection among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Leukeran and Thalidomide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 50 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
