Neoral and Left ventricular hypertrophy - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Left ventricular hypertrophy is reported as a side effect among people who take Neoral (cyclosporine), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Norvasc, and have Aplastic anemia.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Left ventricular hypertrophy when taking Neoral. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25,970 people who have side effects when taking Neoral from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Neoral?

Neoral has active ingredients of cyclosporine. It is often used in psoriasis. eHealthMe is studying from 26,084 Neoral users. Check the latest studies of Neoral.

What is Left ventricular hypertrophy?

Left ventricular hypertrophy (the thickening of the myocardium (muscle) of the left ventricle of the heart) is found to be associated with 899 drugs and 755 conditions by eHealthMe. Check the latest studies of Left ventricular hypertrophy.
