Arava and Rhinocort drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Arava (leflunomide) and Rhinocort (budesonide). Common drug interactions include cough among females and deep vein thrombosis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Arava and Rhinocort. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Arava?

What is Rhinocort?
Rhinocort has active ingredients of budesonide. It is often used in allergies. eHealthMe is studying from 7,139 Rhinocort users. Check the latest studies of Rhinocort.
17 people who take Arava and Rhinocort together, and have interactions are studied.
