Promethazine and Neupogen drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Promethazine (promethazine hydrochloride) and Neupogen (filgrastim). Common drug interactions include febrile neutropenia among females and dermatitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Promethazine and Neupogen. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 84 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Promethazine?
Promethazine has active ingredients of promethazine hydrochloride. It is often used in nausea. eHealthMe is studying from 32,300 Promethazine users. Check the latest studies of Promethazine.
What is Neupogen?
Neupogen has active ingredients of filgrastim. It is often used in agranulocytosis. eHealthMe is studying from 23,898 Neupogen users. Check the latest studies of Neupogen.
84 people who take Promethazine and Neupogen together, and have interactions are studied.
