Atorvastatin calcium and Dupuytren's contracture - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Dupuytren's contracture is reported only by a few people who take Atorvastatin Calcium.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people take Atorvastatin calcium and have Dupuytren's contracture. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 52,207 people who have side effects while taking Atorvastatin calcium from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
With medical big data and AI algorithms, eHealthMe enables everyone to run phase IV clinical trial to detect adverse drug outcomes and monitor effectiveness. Our original studies have been referenced on 600+ peer-reviewed medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature. Most recently, phase IV clinial trails for COVID 19 vaccines have been added, check here.
52,207 people reported to have side effects when taking Atorvastatin calcium.
Among them, 3 people (0.01%) have Dupuytren's contracture.
