Losartan and Irinotecan hydrochloride drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Losartan (losartan potassium) and Irinotecan hydrochloride (irinotecan hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include leukopenia among females and atypical pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Losartan and Irinotecan hydrochloride. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
