Otrexup and Ibuprofen drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Otrexup (methotrexate) and Ibuprofen (ibuprofen). Common drug interactions include drug effect decreased among females and diarrhoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Otrexup and Ibuprofen. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Otrexup?
Otrexup has active ingredients of methotrexate. eHealthMe is studying from 2,154 Otrexup users. Check the latest studies of Otrexup.
What is Ibuprofen?
Ibuprofen has active ingredients of ibuprofen. It is often used in pain. eHealthMe is studying from 245,270 Ibuprofen users. Check the latest studies of Ibuprofen.
18 people who take Otrexup and Ibuprofen together, and have interactions are studied.
