Etoposide and Peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy is reported as a side effect among people who take Etoposide (etoposide), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Cyclophosphamide, and have Lung neoplasm malignant.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy when taking Etoposide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77,756 people who have side effects when taking Etoposide from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
