Santyl and Methotrexate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Santyl (collagenase) and Methotrexate (methotrexate sodium). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and ascites among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Santyl and Methotrexate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
