Valcyte and Leflunomide drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Valcyte (valganciclovir hydrochloride) and Leflunomide (leflunomide). Common drug interactions include deafness among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Valcyte and Leflunomide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Valcyte?
Valcyte has active ingredients of valganciclovir hydrochloride. It is often used in cmv - immunocompromised host. eHealthMe is studying from 6,409 Valcyte users. Check the latest studies of Valcyte.
What is Leflunomide?
Leflunomide has active ingredients of leflunomide. It is often used in rheumatoid arthritis. eHealthMe is studying from 82,105 Leflunomide users. Check the latest studies of Leflunomide.
24 people who take Valcyte and Leflunomide together, and have interactions are studied.
