Dimethyl sulfoxide and Brain oedema - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Brain oedema is reported as a side effect among people who take Dimethyl sulfoxide (dimethyl sulfoxide), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, also take Gabapentin, and have Bone marrow conditioning regimen.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Brain oedema when taking Dimethyl sulfoxide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 287 people who have side effects when taking Dimethyl sulfoxide from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
