Neulasta and Ribasphere drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) and Ribasphere (ribavirin). Common drug interactions include nasopharyngitis among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Neulasta and Ribasphere. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Neulasta?
Neulasta has active ingredients of pegfilgrastim. It is often used in agranulocytosis. eHealthMe is studying from 92,286 Neulasta users. Check the latest studies of Neulasta.
What is Ribasphere?
Ribasphere has active ingredients of ribavirin. It is often used in hepatitis c. eHealthMe is studying from 9,336 Ribasphere users. Check the latest studies of Ribasphere.
11 people who take Neulasta and Ribasphere together, and have interactions are studied.
