Leukine and Synthroid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Leukine (sargramostim) and Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium). Common drug interactions include headache among females and oedema peripheral among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Leukine and Synthroid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 57 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Leukine?
Leukine has active ingredients of sargramostim. eHealthMe is studying from 2,188 Leukine users. Check the latest studies of Leukine.
What is Synthroid?
Synthroid has active ingredients of levothyroxine sodium. It is often used in hypothyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 249,198 Synthroid users. Check the latest studies of Synthroid.
57 people who take Leukine and Synthroid together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on sargramostim and levothyroxine sodium (the active ingredients of Leukine and Synthroid, respectively), and Leukine and Synthroid (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?
