Melphalan 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 Melphalan (melphalan), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Velcade, and have Multiple myeloma.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy when taking Melphalan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20,050 people who have side effects when taking Melphalan from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
