Prograf and Ventricular tachycardia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Ventricular tachycardia is reported as a side effect among people who take Prograf (tacrolimus), especially for people who are male, 50-59 old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Prednisone, and have Herpes zoster.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Ventricular tachycardia when taking Prograf. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41,725 people who have side effects when taking Prograf from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Prograf?

Prograf has active ingredients of tacrolimus. It is often used in kidney transplant. eHealthMe is studying from 42,230 Prograf users. Check the latest studies of Prograf.

What is Ventricular tachycardia?

Ventricular tachycardia (rapid heartbeat that originates in one of the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart) is found to be associated with 1,281 drugs and 2,098 conditions by eHealthMe. Check the latest studies of Ventricular tachycardia.
