Potassium chloride and Bone marrow failure - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Bone marrow failure is reported as a side effect among people who take Potassium chloride (potassium chloride), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Cyclophosphamide, and have Acute lymphocytic leukemia (all).

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Bone marrow failure when taking Potassium chloride. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28,553 people who have side effects when taking Potassium chloride from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
