Thalidomide and Mean cell haemoglobin concentration decreased - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Mean cell haemoglobin concentration decreased is reported as a side effect among people who take Thalidomide (thalidomide), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, also take Oxycontin, and have Limb discomfort.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Mean cell haemoglobin concentration decreased when taking Thalidomide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16,470 people who have side effects when taking Thalidomide from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
