Targretin and Prednisolone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Targretin (bexarotene) and Prednisolone (prednisolone). Common drug interactions include disease progression among females and staphylococcal bacteraemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Targretin and Prednisolone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
