Tecfidera and Glucagon drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate) and Glucagon (glucagon hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include diabetic retinopathy among females and blood pressure decreased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tecfidera and Glucagon. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on dimethyl fumarate and glucagon hydrochloride (the active ingredients of Tecfidera and Glucagon, respectively), and Tecfidera and Glucagon (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.

How to use the study?
