Vx-950 and Lasix drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vx-950 (telaprevir) and Lasix (furosemide). Common drug interactions include platelet count decreased among females and anaemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vx-950 and Lasix. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 70 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
