Digoxin and Basal cell carcinoma - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
We study 90,380 people who have side effects when taking Digoxin. Basal cell carcinoma is found, especially among people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 10+ years, also take Prednisone and have Osteoporosis.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people take Digoxin and have Basal cell carcinoma. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports from the FDA, and is updated regularly. You may use the study as a second opinion to make health care decisions.
Phase IV trials are used to detect adverse drug outcomes and monitor drug effectiveness in the real world. With medical big data and AI algorithms, eHealthMe is running millions of phase IV trials and makes the results available to the public. Our original studies have been referenced on 700+ medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature.
90,380 people reported to have side effects when taking Digoxin.
Among them, 137 people (0.15%) have Basal cell carcinoma.
