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.
