Temodar and Thalidomide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Temodar (temozolomide) and Thalidomide (thalidomide). Common drug interactions include thrombocytopenia among females and gastrooesophageal reflux disease among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Temodar and Thalidomide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Temodar?

Temodar has active ingredients of temozolomide. It is often used in glioblastoma multiforme. eHealthMe is studying from 6,683 Temodar users. Check the latest studies of Temodar.

What is Thalidomide?

Thalidomide has active ingredients of thalidomide. eHealthMe is studying from 16,473 Thalidomide users. Check the latest studies of Thalidomide.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on temozolomide and thalidomide (the active ingredients of Temodar and Thalidomide, respectively), and Temodar and Thalidomide (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?
