Acular and Thrombocytopenia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Thrombocytopenia is reported as a side effect among people who take Acular (ketorolac tromethamine), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, also take Amoxicillin, and have Acute myeloid leukaemia.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Thrombocytopenia when taking Acular. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 1,109 people who have side effects when taking Acular from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
