Rituxan and Tranexamic acid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Rituxan (rituximab) and Tranexamic acid (tranexamic acid). Common drug interactions include impaired gastric emptying among females and platelet count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Rituxan and Tranexamic acid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 73 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on rituximab and tranexamic acid (the active ingredients of Rituxan and Tranexamic acid, respectively), and Rituxan and Tranexamic acid (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
