Dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Hypercalcaemia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Hypercalcaemia is reported as a side effect among people who take Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (dexamethasone sodium phosphate), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Morphine, and have B precursor type acute leukaemia.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Hypercalcaemia when taking Dexamethasone sodium phosphate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12,016 people who have side effects when taking Dexamethasone sodium phosphate from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
