Veklury and Decadron drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Veklury (remdesivir) and Decadron (dexamethasone). Common drug interactions include bradycardia among females and bradycardia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Veklury and Decadron. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 85 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Veklury?
Veklury has active ingredients of remdesivir. eHealthMe is studying from 2,753 Veklury users. Check the latest studies of Veklury.
What is Decadron?
Decadron has active ingredients of dexamethasone. It is often used in multiple myeloma. eHealthMe is studying from 47,210 Decadron users. Check the latest studies of Decadron.
85 people who take Veklury and Decadron together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on remdesivir and dexamethasone (the active ingredients of Veklury and Decadron, respectively), and Veklury and Decadron (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.
