Neulasta and Tarceva drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) and Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and ejection fraction decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Neulasta and Tarceva. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 76 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
