Rinvoq and Pentasa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rinvoq (upadacitinib) and Pentasa (mesalamine). Common drug interactions include gastrointestinal haemorrhage among females and drug ineffective among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rinvoq and Pentasa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
