Zykadia and Pemetrexed drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zykadia (ceritinib) and Pemetrexed (pemetrexed). Common drug interactions include malignant neoplasm progression among females and liver disorder among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zykadia and Pemetrexed. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
