Selenium and Jakafi drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Selenium (selenium) and Jakafi (ruxolitinib phosphate). Common drug interactions include haemoglobin decreased among females and anaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Selenium and Jakafi. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Selenium?
Selenium has active ingredients of selenium. It is often used in vitamin supplementation. eHealthMe is studying from 5,314 Selenium users. Check the latest studies of Selenium.
What is Jakafi?
Jakafi has active ingredients of ruxolitinib phosphate. It is often used in primary myelofibrosis. eHealthMe is studying from 56,530 Jakafi users. Check the latest studies of Jakafi.
31 people who take Selenium and Jakafi together, and have interactions are studied.
