Naproxen and Pemetrexed drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Naproxen (naproxen) and Pemetrexed (pemetrexed). Common drug interactions include metastases to central nervous system among females and sepsis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Naproxen and Pemetrexed. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 69 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Naproxen?
Naproxen has active ingredients of naproxen. It is often used in pain. eHealthMe is studying from 72,032 Naproxen users. Check the latest studies of Naproxen.
What is Pemetrexed?
Pemetrexed has active ingredients of pemetrexed. eHealthMe is studying from 17,491 Pemetrexed users. Check the latest studies of Pemetrexed.
69 people who take Naproxen and Pemetrexed together, and have interactions are studied.
