Remicade and Keytruda drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Remicade (infliximab) and Keytruda (pembrolizumab). Common drug interactions include insomnia among females and hepatitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Remicade and Keytruda. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 34 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Remicade?
Remicade has active ingredients of infliximab. It is often used in crohn's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 224,011 Remicade users. Check the latest studies of Remicade.
What is Keytruda?
Keytruda has active ingredients of pembrolizumab. It is often used in renal cell carcinoma. eHealthMe is studying from 57,404 Keytruda users. Check the latest studies of Keytruda.
34 people who take Remicade and Keytruda together, and have interactions are studied.
