Rinvoq and Tacrolimus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rinvoq (upadacitinib) and Tacrolimus (tacrolimus). Common drug interactions include myelosuppression among females and squamous cell carcinoma among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rinvoq and Tacrolimus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 94 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
