Renagel and Exjade drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Renagel (sevelamer hydrochloride) and Exjade (deferasirox). Common drug interactions include death among females and asthenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Renagel and Exjade. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
