Simvastatin and Velphoro drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Simvastatin (simvastatin) and Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide). Common drug interactions include chronic kidney disease among females and depression among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Simvastatin and Velphoro. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Simvastatin?
Simvastatin has active ingredients of simvastatin. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 256,970 Simvastatin users. Check the latest studies of Simvastatin.
What is Velphoro?
Velphoro has active ingredients of sucroferric oxyhydroxide. eHealthMe is studying from 2,749 Velphoro users. Check the latest studies of Velphoro.
30 people who take Simvastatin and Velphoro together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on simvastatin and sucroferric oxyhydroxide (the active ingredients of Simvastatin and Velphoro, respectively), and Simvastatin and Velphoro (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.
