Plaquenil and Ocrevus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine sulfate) and Ocrevus (ocrelizumab). Common drug interactions include eustachian tube dysfunction among females and hypoaesthesia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Plaquenil and Ocrevus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 47 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
