Megace and Sunitinib malate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Megace (megestrol acetate) and Sunitinib malate (sunitinib malate). Common drug interactions include disseminated intravascular coagulation among females and dehydration among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Megace and Sunitinib malate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 71 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 megestrol acetate and sunitinib malate (the active ingredients of Megace and Sunitinib malate, respectively), and Megace and Sunitinib malate (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.
