Platinol and Erbitux drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Platinol (cisplatin) and Erbitux (cetuximab). Common drug interactions include death among females and malignant neoplasm progression among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Platinol and Erbitux. 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 Platinol?
Platinol has active ingredients of cisplatin. eHealthMe is studying from 1,249 Platinol users. Check the latest studies of Platinol.
What is Erbitux?
Erbitux has active ingredients of cetuximab. It is often used in cancer. eHealthMe is studying from 19,276 Erbitux users. Check the latest studies of Erbitux.
11 people who take Platinol and Erbitux together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cisplatin and cetuximab (the active ingredients of Platinol and Erbitux, respectively), and Platinol and Erbitux (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
