Pradaxa and Micro-k drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) and Micro-k (potassium chloride). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal haemorrhage among females and gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pradaxa and Micro-k. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on dabigatran etexilate mesylate and potassium chloride (the active ingredients of Pradaxa and Micro-k, respectively), and Pradaxa and Micro-k (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.
