Tafinlar and Movicol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tafinlar (dabrafenib mesylate) and Movicol (polyethylene glycol 3350). Common drug interactions include upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage among females and arthralgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tafinlar and Movicol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 39 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
