Thalomid and Hydrea drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Thalomid (thalidomide) and Hydrea (hydroxyurea). Common drug interactions include disease progression among females and acute myeloid leukaemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Thalomid and Hydrea. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Thalomid?

Thalomid has active ingredients of thalidomide. It is often used in multiple myeloma. eHealthMe is studying from 38,099 Thalomid users. Check the latest studies of Thalomid.

What is Hydrea?

Hydrea has active ingredients of hydroxyurea. It is often used in polycythemia vera. eHealthMe is studying from 9,083 Hydrea users. Check the latest studies of Hydrea.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on thalidomide and hydroxyurea (the active ingredients of Thalomid and Hydrea, respectively), and Thalomid and Hydrea (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?

DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
