Promethazine and Tarceva drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Promethazine (promethazine hydrochloride) and Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cerebrovascular accident among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Promethazine and Tarceva. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 69 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 Tarceva?
Tarceva has active ingredients of erlotinib hydrochloride. It is often used in lung cancer. eHealthMe is studying from 31,036 Tarceva users. Check the latest studies of Tarceva.
69 people who take Promethazine and Tarceva together, and have interactions are studied.
